Prevent Dangerous Harm

Don't Taser Me

This advocacy group was established subsequent to the death of our son and brother, Patrick D. Hagans. On May 13, 2007, in Franklin County, Ohio during an altercation with law enforcement officers, a Taser was used. Patrick became unconscious and was admitted to a local hospital. Having never regained any awareness, Patrick was removed from life support and passed away May 16, 2007.

The task of our advocacy organization is to support agencies that are demanding further research and stricter regulations regarding the use of Tasers for both law enforcement officers and private citizens. Our hope is to get them off the street entirely.

If your belief is “SAFETY, NOT HARM” please join us in this crusade to make our world a much more protected place for all.

TASER / TORTURE / DEATH NATIONAL MEMORIAL ALL RACES AND RELIGIONS

We have built a National Memorial in Ft Worth Texas for the 473 victims who were tortured and died after being electrocuted with a taser. They are each represented by 473 white crosses laid out in military burial style. The main sign says Taser / Torture / Death NATIONAL MEMORIAL All races and Religions A name list is on the back of the main sign.This Memorial was built by 73 year old Pastor Tom Franklin who said "I just couldn't sit by while people were being tortured with the cruel and unusual punishment of having 50,000 volt wires shot one half inch under the skin. He also said "maybe I can't prove that a taser killed all of the people represented here but I can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were tortured. He said " I can't imagine a more cruel and unusual punishment than having a taser barb in the neck and chest and being electrocuted for fifty four screaming agonizing seconds." That is what happened to Michael Patrick Jacobs Junior here in Ft Worth, Tx. and is what gave Reverend Franklin the idea to construct the memorial for all taser victims in Michael Jacobs's name
