"EVERGREEN PARK, Ill. -- A man and his daughter have filed a lawsuit alleging a couple of Evergreen Park police officers assaulted them with a Taser gun at the woman's backyard wedding reception.

Clarence Phelps, 54, and Romona Madison, 32, filed the federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday against two officers and the Village of Evergreen Park.

According to the lawsuit, a black female officer on Sept. 18 told Phelps outside his home at 9124 S. Francisco Ave. that the police department had received a noise complaint after 11 p.m. and that he should turn down the music at his daughter's wedding reception, NBC5's Renee Ferguson reported.

Phelps, who is also black, said he turned off the music, but the officer did not leave, according to the lawsuit. When Phelps approached the officer to ask why she was still on his premises, she demanded his identification and called for backup, the lawsuit states."

There needs to be strict regulations as to when Taser Guns are used.

1. There's been a lot of reports

about the misuse of these things.

<snip>'Madison ran into the home, and one of the officers followed. That officer then allegedly shot Madison with the Taser gun twice in the abdomen, despite being told by witnesses that she was pregnant.

A prong from the stun gun reportedly became lodged in Madison's stomach and had to be removed by paramedics, Ferguson said.

A third officer allegedly held a gun to Madison's head as she was being arrested.

After being released from custody, Madison sought medical care and doctors told her the unborn child's vital signs were weak and that tests would show whether she would lose the baby, according to a news release from the law firm of Richardson, Stasko, Boyd & Mack.'

Now, my question becomes, if she loses the baby, will the officers be tried for murdering a fetus???

3. Please? tried for murder?

They're cops. They wouldn't be tried for murder of a black adult, much less a fetus, no matter what the circumstances. It's just a perk of the job.

6. But if a civilian kills a cop then they automatically get the death...

penalty.

:puke:

2. Anyone know what ever became of this story? It was over a year ago.

10. article doesn't say

I hope not.

4. Yeah, maybe a pregnant woman should be tasered only somewhere other

than in the midsection.

5. Two for one?

Here in Florida they taser kids. I guess they got a twofer in ill. What asshats. I hope they sue the socks off the police. All that for a little loud music? What would they do for something really criminal, shoplifting for example?

9. Maybe the fetus can sue...

since the Repugs want them to have their own rights and all.
