Man Tased and Beaten for Being a Fan of Pirates
Scott J. Ashley, 41, of Friendship was arrested at Saturday’s Pirates game and charged with four misdemeanors, including public drunkenness and resisting arrest. The video shows two officers taking at least six swings at a man meeting Ashley’s description, first Tasering him to little effect before clubbing him in the neck, head, side and legs before he is eventually cuffed on the concourse floor. “We both feared for our safety,” city detective Francis Rende, apparently one of the offices involved, wrote in a criminal complaint filed yesterday. And apparently he had good reason. According to Rende’s complaint, Ashley threatened to kill someone who stood up to him: Rende wrote that Ashley had refused to comply at his seat, even asking police to move out of his way so he could see the game. He then began inciting the crowd, according to Rende, and the crowd started chanting “USA!” which can be heard on the video. The violence began when Ashley, once down the steps, tried to high-five another fan. A park staff member then appears to put his arm up to try and block the high-five, and Ashley responds by elbowing that man, whom the police report names as Travis Skibiel. It does not give Skibiel’s affiliation, but says Ashley then threatened to kill Skibiel if he ever sees him again. Obviously the cops hit like sissies. |

Re: Man Tased and Beaten for Being a Fan of Pirates
>Tased and beaten for being a fan of pirates. He was tased and beaten for being drunk and pushing and threatening a guy, then having a threatening demeanor to the police. I dont understand why they tased him straight away though..they should have just got in the way and walked him off. Tasing him only escelated the situation. |
