Angry Neighbors Make False 911 Calls After Taser Gun Incident

POSTED: 6:38 am EDT July 26, 2005
UPDATED: 6:55 am EDT July 26, 2005

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Neighbors upset with Orange County sheriff's deputies use of a Taser gun to control a fight in a Pine Hills neighborhood apparently attempted to flood 911 operators with false emergency calls, according to Local 6 News.

Deputies responded to calls of a neighborhood fight on Babson Road in Pine Hills at about 11:30 p.m. Monday.

About 30 people gathered to watch the fight between neighbors, Local 6 News reported.

When officer arrived, they were forced to shoot one person with a Taser gun.

"It appears many people were upset with the (deputies) response and threatened to call 911 with false reports," Local 6 News reporter Samantha Knapp said. "Police received several calls shortly after."

"We got multiple calls of shots fired from a multitude of residents," Orange County sheriff's Lt. Joe McKenna said. "What we did was staged in the area and called back each complainant to verify there were no injuries otherwise we would have made an immediate response."

All of the 911 calls turned out to be false alarms, Local 6 News reported.

Under new guidelines enacted two weeks ago, subjects must show signs of aggression, appear dangerous and then get physical before being shot with a Taser gun.

"At this point, deputies believe last night's case and use of the Taser gun was warranted," Knapp said.

More than 460 people have been shot with Taser guns since last year, Local 6 News reported.

Douchebag: "Hey Call 911 en masse that'll show 'em!"

3 miles away: "Oh fuck, where's the fire department, my house is burning."

Fuckin' A, I await our Communist Chineese Overlords or some shit. Once again I find myself thinking a taste of real opression and loss of personal rights is needed.

Or maybe the Alderman dropping by the local park for a community softball game and some conversation.  You know, that representative government shit you read about in books.

You get the government you deserve.  If you want a councilman/ alderman/ mayor who does stuff like that make it known and elect one who will.  People who pull shit like this, won't, however.  They're the same assmunches who say they won't vote because 'it doesn't do any good anyway.' "Everyone's holding me down, nobody in the government listens to me." Wonder why..

Nothing you say is incorrect, but still, if you are a leader, then perhaps you should choose to lead.

Why were they upset about the tasering? Did they have money on the fight or something?

I certainly hope that they follow the normal process, and not only charge each of the false calls with the standard 9-11 fees, but also charge them with the appropriate violations...anyone that would fuck over their neighbors with this type of response to anything deserves to pay with their time and money, not mine/ours.
