Falmouth Police Killed Marc Cole With Stun-Gun - Killed Antony Kitts with Soft-Tip Bullet,Tortured Stefan Naumczyk, Acting Unaccountable - Unacceptable To Public

50,000 (fifty thousand) volts into a human, from a taser, yet the authorities still quibble over 'cause of death' in so many cases!  Vacillation by politicians of the Big T'ree (Lib-Lab-Con have all evaded discussion on the status of the UNCAT,) has contributed to ongoing deaths and torture on adults, the vulnerable and the young, by police taser in the UK.  The Green Party and Mebyon Kernow have both given me statements saying they support my assertion that taser violates UNCAT.  Conservative Member of Parliament Derek Thomas in particular has been lying to me and dodging this issue for nearly a decade now, as is the Tory way...
  The recent death of Falmouth man Marc Cole (30) brought the issue of taser back into stark focus here in Cornwall - Marc was the first person in Cornwall to die after being hit by a police stun-gun.


Notes:

Antony Kitts (20), shot dead by Falmouth Police with soft-tipped bullet.

Andrew Pimlott was burned to death in Plymouth, Devon, after being tasered by Devon and Cornwall Police Force when soaked in petrol, contrary to police-training guidelines.

After Falmouth police repeatedly tortured Stefan Naumczyk with a stun-gun during a 'royal street-party,' I tried to register a complaint of torture.  He was stunned, cuffed, then stunned again, in front of a large crowd.  This constitutes torture - in my book, and also in the book of law... The police's lying response to me that they could not hear my complaint eventually led me to communicate with the U.N. in Geneva, which is how I discovered that Britain had not ratified Article 22 of the UNCAT which would have allowed UN Investigators into the realm.  Thanks for the tip, Falmouth Police, I'd never have found out without you!

Due to corruption at all levels in the British State, my MP has totally failed to fulfill his on-camera promise to raise the UNCAT Article 22 Ratification issue with the British Government.  This has stalled any progress on the issue and been a major contributory factor in the unlawful slaughter of Marc Cole by these policemen.  My MP, Derek Thomas, also claims to be a Christian, but won't lift a finger to save an old man, a British citizen proven innocent, from dying of flesh-eating bacteria in a vile foreign jail, namely Krishna Maharaj, who languishes in the Florida Department of Corrections.

Soft-Tipped, a.k.a. Dum-Dum Rounds, a.k.a. Hollow-Tipped Bullets have been banned in warfare by international law since at least World War One.  That didn't stop police in Falmouth, Cornwall from slaughtering Antony Kitts with one, back on 10th April, 1999.  These rounds cause massive internal damage, because they expand as they go through a person, thus ripping out a much bigger tunnel than a typical bullet.  Not legal to use on enemies in wartime, but legal for the British Police to use for culling troublesome citizens in the streets.

UN Rules Taser Stun Gun Usage Constitutes Torture And Violates UNCAT

"The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted a form of torture, and that in certain cases it could also cause death, as shown by several reliable studies and by certain cases that had happened after practical use," the UN Committee said in a statement, November 2007.

My letter of 13th June, 2017, to the Commanding Officer of Police for Cornwall and Devon, UK:

Public message to:Chief Constable Shawn Sawyer, Cornwall & Devon Pol., Mrs. F.Wills, Complaints Dept., 13.6.2017     RE:  RESIST CARDIAC ARREST CAMPAIGN / ILLEGAL INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE & DEATH
C.C.  United Nations, Geneva;  Jeremy Corbyn, Labour Party Leader;  Richard Burgon, Shadow Minister of Justice; Dick Cole, Mebyon Kernow;  Andrew George; Julie Girling MEP;  Danette Chavis, National Action Against Police Brutality and Murder;  Amnesty International; The Guardian newspaper, The Independent Newspaper, The Cornishman newspaper;  BBC Radio Cornwall; etc. 
Dear Chief Cons.Sawyer and Mrs F.Wills,
I am rather surprised to receive a letter from you asking why I am unhappy with police using stun-guns on humans when your constables have recently burned a man to death in public and now slaughtered another young man in the streets of Falmouth, Cornwall.
Strange as it may seem to some, the average citizen is not too happy with cops that publicly burn citizens to death with illegal weapons of torture or kill people with 50,000 volts when they are having emotional crises. 
I've requested that you seek clarification with the British Government (if we have one) and the United Nations, as the rightful, lawful and legal authorities who can clarify the legal status of the x-26 stun gun for you.
You have not responded to me, Chief Constable.
Please do so urgently.

I shall be further clarifying my complaint to you in writing within your statutory complaints period of three weeks.

Further to my original communique, would you please inform me whether Marc Cole's bereaved and grieving family have been offered a Liaison Officer from your department yet?  This question was not answered by you.

Please let me know as soon as possible what the United Nations and the British Government have told you about the X-16 being defined in international law as an INSTRUMENT OF TORTURE by the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Lisbon in 2007.

Please do not ignore this communication but respond to it fully in accordance with your lawful responsibilities.

Yours sincerely,
Jeremy Sch@nche
Newlyn, Kernow, Britain.

When I wrote to Chief Constable Sean Sawyer about the above, he passed it the IPCC - this is their response.
The IPCC is the 'Independent Police Complaints Commission,' which, I have to say, has a notorious record for either bungling investigations, or basically functioning as the police's alibi-department.  A frequent technique of the police is to use the IPCC as a kind of shield, granting them protection and an aura of 'justice.' The so-called 'watch-dog' lives in a kennel adjoining the police-station and seems to live on scraps thrown to it from said building.
  I believe that Marc Cole's family had an experience when they contacted police about Marc's death, only to have the matter described as a 'complaint' and referred to the IPCC, who did not respond satisfactorily.  The same thing happened to me when I approached Cornwall's Chief Constable about the matter recently.  I pointed out the matter of the UN's ruling in 2007 that taser-usage constituted torture, and asked him to liaise with the government and the UN.  He did neither, but merely referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, who responded in an unsatisfactory manner.  They even said that I had not been affected by the killing of Marc Cole - how can anyone assume that?
There are ways to approach a person in emotional crisis, even in danger, that de-escalate and calm the situation.  This takes a basic understanding of human psychology, in which our constables urgently need to be trained to avoid further unnecessary killings.  Rather than 'portable electric-chairs' that zap the recipient with 50,000 or more volts, better to issue cudgels to the constabulary, for surely two big strong cops with broom-sticks could easily floor a citizen who's out of order and borderline violent, without inducing cardiac arrest and putting a temporarily unruly citizen and father of young children into a permanent grave.
Tasers are undemocratic, murderous, torturous, illegal cattle-prods that have no legitimate, or even vaguely legal, human use.  They also cause cancer in those who use them, as found by the State of California.  It's time for genuine debate on how society protects itself from violence, without going to the other extreme and taking the current 'overkill' approach.  I appreciate the protection of the police in this quasi-free society and am under no illusions about street violence, but I contend that if policing is claimed to be done by consent, then that claim has to be proven by those who make it, if they wish to retain the 'democratic' image.

RCA message to Westminster


Here at the RESIST CARDIAC ARREST Campaign we support the old adage that the pen is mightier than the sword, or perhaps these days we should say:  “The pen-drive is mightier than the sawn-off” – anyway, dialogue is, or should be, at the heart of Democracy, and a lot of what people romantically call ‘activism’ boils down to simply putting in a lot of hours at the clacking keyboard as an anonymous scribe, churning out a river of surging words. . . Let’s saunter over to the filing cabinet and take a look at a typical case in point….  Take this case for example….  The Case of the Great British UNCAT Hoax…  and how a meddling amateur hack stumbled into a shadowy world of political deception, torture and subterfuge, centred around an Amerikan company selling a particularly ghastly form of weaponry to avid arms-dealers around the World…..  Well, enough of my musings, let’s pour a strong coffee, light up a camel and see what’s in that file, shall we…..?

E-mail to Jeremy Corbyn sent 8th January 2013:             corbynj@parliament.uk 
To:  The Rt.Hon Jeremy Corbyn, M.P.
Dear Mr Corbyn,
RE:  UNCAT / ARTICLE 22 / UK
On 23rd November 2012 I sent you a registered letter concerning the above, and how it relates to the phenomenon of taser-torture in our country.  Being a little concerned at not yet having received any reply, I include the body of my letter in this e-mail.
With best wishes,  Jeremy Schanche,  RESIST CARDIAC ARREST

“Open Letter To: The Right Honourable Jeremy Corbyn, MP, House of Commons, Westminster LONDON SW1A 0AA.
Dear Mr Corbyn,                                                                                                                                23rd November, 2012
Re:                             UNCAT / ARTICLE 22 / UK
Five years ago today, the UN declared the use of the taser stun-gun to constitute a form of torture and thus a violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture.
 It is my belief that the UNCAT is in need of ratification by the U.K., as I hope to make clear to you.   I know that it is normal procedure to petition ones local MP but following a lengthy correspondence with my MP, Andrew George, it is obvious that he is not minded to get involved in this particular controversy.   Having seen your name on the ‘Defend the Right to Protest’ petition, I take it that you have a genuine interest in Justice.
Due to the gravity of this matter, as it is indeed a matter of life and death, I hoped I could make my case to you, and present certain facts that I believe have a bearing on the British Justice system.  If you do not feel you can take up this case, I would be very grateful for any advice about anyone  who might be interested to discuss it further.
I have founded a campaign called RESIST CARDIAC ARREST, which is opposed to the use of tasers and stun-guns.  The death-toll in USA and Canada from taser-type weapons currently stands at 758.  In Britain, 3 deaths have been attributed to taser-use.  The ‘Stun-Gun’ evolved from a simple electric cattle-prod, used in the slaughter-houses of Argentina, before first being used to torture humans (political prisoners) in Latin America in the ‘30’s. 
When studying the taser phenomenon, I discovered that a recent death in police-custody in Portugal had led to a UN investigation.  Following this, the UN Committee Against Torture released statements on 23rd November 2007 concluding that the effect of tasers   “on the physical and mental state of targeted persons would appear to violate Articles 1 and 16 of the Convention [on Torture]”.   Tasers were further described by the U.N. committee as “a form of torture”;   that  “can even provoke death”.   
The Committee Against Torture recommended to the Portuguese government that their police force cease the use of the taser x-26, but the Committee lacks the power to enforce its decisions upon national governments and the taser remains in use in Portugal.  As I understand it, a similar legal contradiction hangs over the status of the taser in this country and many others.  Essentially, the UN regard it as a lethal torture device, but even though Britain signed the U.N. Convention Against Torture in 1985, nobody in the British government seems to have ever dealt with this glaring failure of policy to uphold and embody the intentions of the UNCAT. 
As part of my campaigning work against the use of these lethal and agonizing devices, I have attempted to initiate dialogue with various authorities concerned.  I have contacted my local Chief Constable, Police Authority, The Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and the Attorney General, asking them if they could explain to me how a device designated by the U.N. as an instrument of torture can be legally used in a nation that is signatory to the UNCAT.   Sadly, I have not had a straight answer from any of them, as apparently none of them can give me such an answer.  Of all the aforementioned authorities, I believe the function of the Attorney General is to deal with legal matters concerning government policy. 
Ostensibly the purpose of a stun gun is to temporarily disable someone until they can be arrested.  Amnesty International has documented many cases of suspects already in handcuffs, sometimes in cells being ‘tasered’.  This is blatant torture, however most of the documented cases occurred in the USA.  The taser is routinely used specifically for torture in many oppressive regimes.  A local taser incident aroused my interest recently.  At a royal wedding street party in Falmouth on 29th April 2011,  a young man named Stefan Naumczyk threw a bottle to the ground where it shattered, reportedly in the direction of some policemen.  What happened next was filmed and published in the media – Stefan Naumczyk was  surrounded by at least five policemen, tasered, knelt on by a large policeman and  handcuffed.  Having subdued and incapacitated the suspect, one of the policemen then gave him a further 50,000 volt blast of his taser x-26 – the very model indicted by the Committee Against Torture, when it made its statement in Lisbon on 23rd November 2007. 
Having seen the film of this event, it struck me as a very blatant case of taser-abuse constituting an act of torture, as the second taser blast, on a handcuffed man, served no purpose other than summary and cruel punishment.  I decided to pursue this matter further and having had a fruitless correspondence with the government and police, I wrote to the U.N.’s High Commissioner For Human Rights,  in Geneva, asking them to investigate the case of Stefan Naumczyk, as I believed he had suffered torture in the U.K. and I wanted to know how to make moves towards seeing the UNCAT properly upheld here in Britain. 
I got a reply from the UNHCHR informing me that they could not get involved in the case – I quote the letter: 
“The Committee against Torture cannot examine petitions alleging violations of the Convention against Torture (CAT) unless the State has made the declaration under article 22 recognizing the Committee’s competence to receive and consider petitions.  The United Kingdom has not made the declaration.” 
So it would seem from the above that although Britain’s Thatcher government signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture in 1985, they failed to sign the declaration attached to Article 22 of the Convention, thereby rendering the Convention a mere verbal one, impossible to be actually applied within our nation! 
Interestingly,  just before the last election, when I received letters from Nick Clegg, Andrew George, and  other politicians of various hues affirming that they would uphold the UNCAT, none of them pointed out to me that it cannot be applied in Great Britain.  Had I not contacted the U.N. directly, I would never have discovered this fact which, in my opinion, makes a rather cynical mockery of the idea of the rule of law.
I don’t think many people are aware that the U.N. views taser usage as torture, and I think even fewer people know that the anti-torture legislation is inapplicable in Britain, despite signing the UNCAT back in 1985.  Current Home Office policy is to increase the arming of police with taser stun guns, I believe the plan is that eventually almost all police will routinely carry them.  I think that a proper and thorough application of the extant anti-torture legislation would lead to a total ban on these torture-devices.  Surely an instrument of torture cannot be condoned and passively accepted in a society such as ours, that ostensibly condemns torture.  Therefore I think this argument needs to be pursued and brought to the attention of those with the power to change policy and uphold justice. 
I am also convinced that the State of Great Britain owes it to the People of Great Britain to sign Article 22 of the UNCAT and thus prove that the government is in fact sincere in its stated wish to eradicate torture from this nation.  Incidentally, I have received written statements from the Green Party and Mebyon Kernow, the Cornish party, saying that they agree with me that the taser x-26 and similar weapons constitute a violation of the UNCAT. 
If there is any way you can help forward this matter I would be extremely grateful.  Also, if there is any other person, department or organization who you think would cooperate or make a contribution to this effort, I would be very happy for you to copy this letter to them.  If I can provide you with any further information I will be very happy to do so.
A taser-free world would be an infinitely better world and any progress in any individual nation towards the elimination of torture helps show other nations a way forward.  Death and torture by electricity is an increasing  global scourge of our times and needs to be abolished and consigned to history, like other barbarous manifestations of human cruelty.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,                      Jeremy Schanche,  RESIST CARDIAC ARREST.”

5 YEARS OF TASER TORTURE

5 Years ago today, on November 23rd, 2007,  the U.N. defined the use of the taser x-26 as torture and stated that it is known to be lethal.  Since then many hundreds of people have been killed by tasers and thousands more tortured, traumatized and abused.  How is it possible that in a country like Britain (or your country) which has signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture, that weapons such as these are routinely used by police?  As part of the ongoing advocacy of the RESIST CARDIAC ARREST Campaign,  ‘The Limpet’ looks into the murky world of electro-coercion and international law.  

If legislators have their fingers crossed behind their backs when signing international treaties, how valid are these treaties….?  Your correspondent has been informed by the U.N. High Commissioner For Human Rights, in Geneva, that they cannot investigate accusations of torture in the U.K. because when Britain signed the UNCAT in 1985, under Thatcher, the government did not sign the declaration regarding Article 22, without which the U.N. cannot look into cases alleging torture in any signatory nation…  What this means in practice is that the international agreement which Britain made with many other nations of the World, cannot be applied or actually put into practice here - it is invalid and impotent, a mere abstract equation.  Meanwhile in Britain’s streets, children, old people,  innocent bystanders and a disproportionately large number of black people have suffered the trauma of street-electrification, courtesy of the State.  Despite being continually ignored and fobbed off by the British authorities, ‘The Limpet’s political correspondent sends an open letter to the Right Honourable Member of Parliament, Mr Jeremy Corbyn, presenting the case for Britain signing Article 22, upholding the UNCAT and abolishing the use of torture-devices in this, our land.

RCA: UNCAT in the UK!

RESIST CARDIAC ARREST challenges the Prime Minister, the Attorney General, 2 MP’s, IPCC, a Chief Constable, a Police Authority & a Superintendent on UN Convention Against Torture. The UNCAT is a body of legislation supposed to prevent acts of torture in civilized countries, but years after the UN defined taser use as torture, teenagers are still being electrocuted in the street – WHILST HANDCUFFED – ‘The Limpet’ asks WHY??
This issue is dedicated to the memory of Roger Holyfield of Illinois, aged 17, tasered to Death by ‘police’ for waving a Bible around in the street on the eve of his Baptism. Also dedicated to Brett Elder of Michigan, aged 15, and all the other teenagers murdered by thug cops with cattle prods…
As the signs around Jerseyville say, "Jesus saves. Tasers kill. We love you Roger."







taser-dart in the eyeball - a gift from the law…
More on this case below… but first, let’s go to Falmouth, in West Cornwall, Britain, and take a look at what happened to a 19 year old man, who broke a bottle in the street at a party to celebrate Britain’s fairytale royal wedding

Taser Eye Inuries
TASERS RUPTURE THE GLOBE….Case Report – American Prison Guards taser man in eyeball!
In 2008, a 49 year-old Hispanic male prison inmate presented to the ocular emergency room having been injured in his left orbit by a barbed taser dart after an altercation at his prison. This patient had previously been enucleated in his left eye. The dart had penetrated his left upper eyelid and entered the orbital implant.
Due to taser-abuse, an increasing number of facial and ocular injuries have been reported. An article in the Annals of Emergency Medicine in 1987 (Vol 16, pp. 73-78) found that the projectile darts from the taser device hit the face about 1% of the time.
There are 3 articles in the literature reporting on ocular injuries from taser weapons - in 2005 theAmerican Journal of Ophthalmology published a case report (Vol 139, pp. 713-715) of a 50 year-old man who was shot by a taser dart through his right lower eyelid that resulted in a ruptured globe injury. There was a second ruptured globe injury reported in Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology In 2006 (Vol 34, pp. 378-380) of a 21 year-old man who was shot directly in the globe by a taser dart. Lastly, in 2007 a case was reported in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (Vol 33, pp. 1664-1665) of a cataract caused by the electrical discharge from a taser dart.

The patient was taken to the operating room where the taser dart was removed from his orbit under direct visualization and with a slow and steady application of force. The eyelid laceration was subsequently repaired and the patient recovered without complication.

Conclusion

The advent of taser devices has left a trail of corpses across Amerika. While facial injuries are rare with these devices, the result of an ocular injury is usually a ruptured globe. Fortunately in this case, the patient did not lose any ocular function because he had been previously enucleated. Furthermore, the patient made a full recovery without the need to replace his orbital implant. (In other words, if he hadn’t already had a plastic eyeball, he certainly would have needed one after being shot in the eye with an electric harpoon!)
