Court Rules That LSD Gives Cops The Right To Use Excessive Force

When tripping on LSD in the great state of Texas, it is well advised to avoid crossing paths with cops. It seems the legal system in some parts of the Lone Star State has determined that it is perfectly acceptable for law enforcement officers to hogtie and excessively Taser a person when they are under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs. In fact, a federal judge in Harris County recently handed down a verdict indicating that LSD gives cops the right to use excessive force.

The ruling is in response to a lawsuit filed by Jared Allen White against Harris County. White was suing the system because of a run-in with local police several years ago. A run-in that resulted in him being publically ridiculed and physically injured.

A Head Full of Acid and Nowhere to Go In 2012, White decided to drop some LSD and take a leisurely stroll around town. Perhaps not the best idea when it comes to the unpredictability of psychedelic drugs, but we're not here to judge. Court records show that a couple of local police officers spotted him walking down the middle of the road. They stopped him for a quick chat.

Along the side of the road, White broke down. He confessed to the officers that he had, in fact, ingested LSD and was tripping balls. The man reportedly went on to explain that he had just lost his wife and son. And then he expressed an odd enthusiasm for being shot with their Tasers.

But rather than recognize that White was obviously a man in distress and likely in need of some professional help, the cops allowed him to slip away and run wild in the street.

That's when one of the officers granted White his wish. He hit him with the Taser, putting him down on the ground.

After cuffing White's hands behind his back, officers failed to gain immediate control of the situation. Instead of transporting him to the patrol car, they simply instructed the man to stay down and seemingly waited for his acid-riddled mind to disobey a direct order.

Reports show that each time White attempted to stand up, conceivably because the texture of the ground was really bugging him, the cops shot him with the Taser again. They did this four times.

To make matters worse, "the officers laughed and thought it was hilarious watching White being tasered and falling on his face with his hands handcuffed behind his back," the complaint reads.

But apparently, LSD gives cops the right to use excessive force. White was ultimately arrested and taken to the county jail.

Case Dismissed, County Prevails Court Rules That LSD Gives Cops The Right To Use Excessive Force

Although White was initially charged with a crime, the prosecution dismissed the case in 2013. He later filed a lawsuit against the county for not having adequate policies in place for using Tasers.

White stated in the complaint that a concern for his "well-being quickly morphed into aggression." In other words, had the officers not given him a significant indication that they were going to Tase him to death, White would not have retaliated in the way that he did.

Final Hit: Court Rules That LSD Gives Cops The Right to Use Excessive Force Despite the sheer outrageousness of the case, U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes said the cops did nothing wrong. He wrote in his opinion that White's constitutional rights were not violated. Even though the officers failed to treat him as though he was a human being by putting him through unnecessary punishment and mocking his pain.

Basically, LSD gives cops the right to use excessive force.

"Several police officers tried to restrain him to keep him from wandering among the cars. He pulled away from them and darted across the grass toward the highway," the opinion reads. "The officers chased him, and one hit him with a Taser. Subdued, the man lay on the ground while the officers handcuffed him. The officers told him to stay on the ground, but he stood - twice. Each time, an officer zapped him with a Taser, not knowing if the man would try to harm an officer or bolt away."

"The officers then tried to walk the man to a car, but on the way, he fell," Judge Hughes went on to explain. "From the ground, he began kicking, hitting one officer's face and neck. An officer Tasered him. The man says that the last three hits with the Taser were constitutionally excessive. The county says that they were reasonable. The county will prevail."

Oh. Now it makes sense.

TL;DR being wacked out on scooby snacks does not grant you the ability to successfully ignore lawful commands from a police officer

you forgot to copy this:

“The officers then tried to walk the man to a car, but on the way, he fell,” Judge Hughes went on to explain. “From the ground, he began kicking, hitting one officer’s face and neck. An officer Tasered him. The man says that the last three hits with the Taser were constitutionally excessive. The county says that they were reasonable. The county will prevail.”

attacking an officer is never a smart idea.

I don't see what this has to do with Jeff Sessions. I don't have a boner for the guy either, I just hate to see people trying so hard to make everything about the Trump admin. There are legitimate complaints, and then there's shit like this where you really had to stretch your rectum apart to pull it out of your ass. Unless I read the article wrong and Jeff Sessions was the judge in this case.

Anyways, the first rule of doing illegal things is to not get caught. People on mind altering substances are unpredictable.

Always keep a Xan in the pocket while exploring with Mrs. Alice D to avoid this type of issue.

I have experience with foolishly dosing ~1mg, give or take 200ug but at that point it doesn't matter much anyways, with my buddy after day of drinking and smoking weed right before dropping.. well long story short my friend had difficult experience and I actually called medics(who decided to involve police) and was taken to sober up(to place where they take too drunk ppl etc, dont know the term) the way police handled him was so infuriating for me and traumatizing to my friend. my friend told off psychedelics after that day(I still partake, I enjoy crazy shit and can hold my shit pretty well) and it has been few years since that episode. my friend is fine now but they handled my friend in the worst ways possible you could deal with a person on a very high dose of psychedelics.. since I was pretty fried myself calling 911(or rather my countries equivalent) seemed like the beat ide but in hindsight I prolly should and could have dealed with it better myself

Look into the case of Troy Goode, even worse situation. That poor man was taken from his family because of excessive force while he was tripping after a Widespread Panic show. Fucking assholes hogtied him for multiple hours, and he pleaded for an inhaler and how he couldn’t breathe. Cops wouldn’t let his wife give it to him either. Can only hope Troy is resting easy, and seeing every Widespread Panic show right next to Jb and that his family is doing ok. We are the Goode People!

Bruh why do people tell others they’re tripping. He could’ve been fucking fine if he didn’t break down and couldn’t handle his LSD.

Cops did tase him too much, that much can seriously injure a person. Also, they should’ve been taught a better way to deal with this.

ive seen fucking cops try to take down a dude on dust and it took 4 cops to bring him down, cant speak for acid, only time i ever took it i sure as shit didn't go walking about down the road, but at the end of the day that person could hurt someone and if they don't comply, what else can you do? do stupid shit, win stupid prizes.


[1 Points] TheReaIDirtyDan:

I honestly have a hard time reading posts like this. Dont know how to word how i feel about situations like this.


[1 Points] MischaLikesky:

I hope this creates precedent for excessive use against alcoholics.

You can’t reverse the decision now unless there’s an appeal request going through on that case. But I hope that the police will treat us all fairly and beat the shit out of the drunk hillbillies who gave judges like this a place in our government.

I mean, I can see someone being on lsd for the cops to say "fuck this, hog tie him. Sedate him" . I've seen an acid freak out spawned by fear from a perceived threat turn reap real bad real quick.

This world is fucking backwards man.

People always think the middle ages were fucked up when people were being burned for being witches and wizards and what not and most people say that in a way "oh, we are so lucky to live in this day and age" but what people don't realize is that it never fucking ended in the first place.

People are being caged up and abused and tortured for trying to have a choice of what molecules they put inside of their bodies, and having their whole fucking life ruined for giving other human beings a molecule they wanted. The wars also never ended. People are still killing each other like we are fucking animals. Our presidents are narcissists who try to have as much control over the world as they can and play with people and nuclear weapons like they are toys. Meanwhile they are the most worthless people on the planet and they are at the top.

Fuck this world. We never changed at all. The same story over and over again.

So much fucked up things in this world people don't even see or try to change. Can 1 person really rule the world? Fuck no. We just don't realize how much power we actually have so we never try to use any. We aren't trying to push our freedom as we should. We need a revolution.

Got it, shoot faggot cops fucking pigs on sight if you are tripping! Cool!

I mean, you're really not supposed to get up if the police tell you to lay on the ground. I'm not saying whether or not they performed their duties correctly, because I don't know, but if you don't follow their directions they can do whatever the fuck they want to you legally, acid or no acid. Kind of a misleading thing to say in an article. * Cue down vote brigade *
