Police Taser Denevious Thomas TWICE ... Yet, Report Claims Tasers Were Not Cause of Death

I continue to be amazed by the contortions that the Powers-That-Be go through to avoid admitting that tasers kill. This time we learn from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that 36-year old Denevious Thomas died on November 23 from something he ate ... not from being tasered twice by Dougherty County Police Department officers.

Thomas made a foolish decision to run away from the police at 2:00 a.m. in the morning. The police caught up to him and tased him twice in order to get him into the back of their squad car. He died in the back of that car.

Officer Liv Davis, Officer Matt Stone and Lt. Mike Woods were suspended with pay during the investigation into the incident. They are expected to return to work next week.




In the meantime, the family of Denevious Thomas still doesn't understand why he is dead. After all, the penalty for 'resisting arrest' isn't supposed to be death.

Taser Death: Denevious Thomas (Albany, GA)

It's happened again. This time unidentified Doughtery County Police officers decided to perform an extra-judicial electrocution of 36-year old Denevious Thomas when he was pulled over for a traffic stop in Albany, GA earlier this morning. [SOURCE]

Thomas' car was stopped near his home. In fact his aunts and other family members were nearby when the unidentified police officers drove away with his body still in handcuffs. The family members were understandably outraged and hysterical.

"He's dead. He's dead in handcuffs. It's not right," said Thomas' aunt Mary Ward.

His grandmother, who had kept her composure all morning, couldn't hold it in any longer.

"A dog deserves better than what he got, it's just so sad," grandmother Mary Ward cried.

The police spin the story this way: An unidentified Dougherty County police officer tried to pull over Thomas because he "appeared impaired". Police say that Thomas didn't stop ... and police chased him at a speed of about 30 miles per hour for a few miles until he crashed.

"The driver attempted to run from the vehicle. And in the attempt to take him into custody a taser was deployed," said Dougherty County Police Chief Don Cheek.

Cheek says Thomas struggled with the officer. After tasing Thomas, an unidentified officer put him in handcuffs and placed him inside the police car. When EMS crews arrived to check on Thomas' condition, Thomas was found to be dead, leaving behind his girlfriend Margaret Johnson and three children including a one-year-old.

"I'm still in shock, very much so. Because I was just standing in the doorway waiting for him to walk in," said Johnson.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is getting statements from everyone involved in this taser-related death. It seems very funky to me based on the little information that has currently been released.
