Drunk Newlyweds Tasered and Jailed
Ah, wedding night. A magical evening filled with frivolity and passion, and, evidently, non-lethal electrocution via taser.
Sigh.
A Vallejo, California couple was thrown in jail on their wedding night after a house party was repeatedly broken up by police. Neighbors reported hearing loud music late into the night and the party eventually headed outside.
The groom, evidently overjoyed by the prospect of everlasting marital bliss, became a bit too animated for police. He was treated to a healthy dose of electrical current after he stripped off his shirt and advanced toward officers with balled up fists. He got tasered. On his wedding night. Well played, sir.
Not to be outdone, the bride was also arrested for public intoxication. Both of them spent the evening in Solano County Jail.
We are aware that the economy is not at its strongest right now, but seriously, wasn't there an easier way to score a cheap room for the night? Here's hoping the rest of their lives go more smoothly than the first 24 hours of their marriage.

Ava,
Your an idiot, obviously white trash like the couple who was arrested. You can trash talk the police, but when you need them, you will expect their help. They put their lives in jeopardy everyday, and they get mediocre pay and shit from losers like you.

Tasers are meant to be used in place of a gun. They are only supposed to be used when an officer would otherwise pull and use his gun to kill someone. They are occasionally fatal.
So your justification that they were white trash and loud and therefore somehow deserved this excessive force and abuse of power by the police is ridiculous.
The police force, for the most part, has mutated into something other what was intended when they were created. They now spend most of their time writing tickets to generate revenue on people who can't afford them, harassing innocent citizens in an effort to prop up their own egos, and ignoring the laws that they are meant to enforce.
I have been the victim of several crimes, including armed convenience store robbery, car stereo theft, a different car break-in and theft, and identity theft.
The police are 0 for 4. Most spent no more than a few minutes on the "case". A few even laughed at me when I asked about catching who did it. They are useless and a waste of space unable to resolve even the simplest crimes.
If you need the police, hope and pray the aggressor has an expired tag, a broken tail light, an inclination for speeding or some other similar situation, otherwise, the police won't bother to ever find him.

Let's see, taser or 9 MM - i'd take the taser - it's not as permanent

Way to go Officers! The groom was asking for it!

Tasers are a better alternative to billy clubs and bullets

Tazers Rule!! God I hope there is a video of this!
Eric @ Apr 8th 2008 2:39PM
At least they are still alive to go through that nasty divorce in their future...If they have kids they should be tased again!
angela @ Apr 8th 2008 2:44PM
whoever approves of the use of tasers are idiots. You havnt done your research if that is the case. People are dead, not just one, but multiple people are dead because of cops using the tasers. A lot of them use it waaay out of context as well, also, when it isnt necessary at all. It is there f'ing wedding night. They can be loud for one night especially that one, and shouldnt even of had in their mind that they could be tazed. That is rediculous. Those cops do need tasers shoved up their ass.

HOW SAD THAT THEY HAD SUCH BRUTE FORCE THROWN ON THEM AFTER THEY JUST GOT MARRIED.....
Ariana @ Apr 8th 2008 2:49PM
If anyone is familar with the Vallejo area you will certainly understand why a taser was used and surely agree with it.
Rick @ Apr 8th 2008 2:50PM
Kimantha: It's easy to tell you never lived in Vallejo, Calif. The chances are better that the wedding couple were Black or Filipino. My bet is Black.
MK Talbott @ Apr 8th 2008 2:51PM
"White trash" - now there's a trite old phrase I'd like to see get tasered! What exactly do you mean by "white trash" as opposed to what, brown trash, yellow trash - black trash?
What is implied here, that Caucasians behave like civilized people but people of color do not? Use of that creepy old phrase implies racism BIG time. And may I ask, who has designated you and your ilk as the judges of who is worthy and who is not?
NO human being is "trash", trash is a single or a collection of objects of refuse. Evolve along with the rest of us, won't you?
jimmyv033 @ Apr 8th 2008 2:51PM
I'd like to tase Ava's ass
ejcjensen @ Apr 8th 2008 2:53PM
As Kimantha said, why would you be acting like an asshole and get yourself tased on the happiest day of your life. Must be white trash!
lita @ Apr 8th 2008 2:53PM
Ever notice that, after someone has been killed during the commission of a horrific crime by the police, the family sues and raises a stink about how police murdered their "angel?" It's that kind of idiotic indulgence that allowed that "child" to grow into the vermin we see on the news.
I say, hit them with the taser. There have been times when tasers have been used inappropriately, true enough. But this is pretty rare. And there have been many times when I've thought the occasion called for a bullet, but a less lethal form of response was used.
I wonder if the mug shots will make it into the wedding album....

Ava:
You tell them! I was married to a police officer for 15yrs, who did nothing but drink and drive after work along with all members on his shift,steal RX painkillers off of his father, and also loved to verbally abuse his children, and his wife, If I owned a taser, I would have definately used on him!!! Cops think their ablove the law! If i'm not mistaken, drinkling and driving are against the law!!!!
genibre @ Apr 8th 2008 2:55PM
Good for the police! If the newlyweds can't act like adults and respect authority within the 24 hours of getting married, it bodes well for how they will instruct their kids. Please, someone sterilize these two idiots.
EJCJ @ Apr 8th 2008 2:56PM
MK, what trailer did you fall out of?
Anthony @ Apr 8th 2008 2:58PM
Well maybe now they'll realize that a wedding and life in general, isn't about getting so drunk you can't see. Or rueing everyone esle's evening by acting like an immature kid. I say immature kid because these days it seems like GenZ is going to be a hell of alot more mature then most adults out there.
