Hospital Security Use Taser on Man Holding His Little Girl
A guard fired a stun gun in an attempt to stop a White dad from taking home his newborn, sending both man and baby crashing to the floor. In this Youtube age, of course the entire confrontation was captured on videotape.
Married to a Black woman, this guy is now claiming that his little angel suffers from head trauma because she was dropped. "She shakes a lot and cries a lot," Lewis said, noting doctors have performed several MRIs on the child, Karla. "She's not real responsive. Something is definitely wrong with my daughter." To date, no injuries have been identified.
Riddle me this. What knucklehead would Tase a cat when he's clearly holding a baby. I don't get it.

Oh but wait, you know there are always two sides to every story. First of all, Child Protective Services has custody of the baby. Why? Because apparently pops has a history of giving beatdowns to his wife, Jacqueline Gray, and vice versa.
Okay, now we're starting to get the picture.
The April 13 episode began when William Lewis, 30, said he and his wife claimed they were mistreated by staff at the Woman's Hospital of Texas so they decided to leave. Hospital employees told him doctors would not allow it, but you know Lewis said f*** you, called the guard's mama everything but a child of God, picked up the baby and strolled out with serious bravado.
The elevators would not move because wristband sensors on each baby shut off the elevators if anyone takes an infant without permission.
David Boling, an off-duty Houston police officer working security at the hospital, and another security guard can be seen on the surveillance video arriving at the elevators and trying to talk with Lewis. Lewis appears agitated as he walks around the elevators holding his daughter in his right arm.
Within 40 seconds of arriving, Boling is holding the Taser. About a minute later, Boling can be seen casually standing near Lewis, not looking in his direction, when he suddenly raises the Taser and fires it at Lewis, who was still holding his daughter.
Lewis drops to the floor. The other guard then scoops up Karla and gives the child to her mother, standing nearby in a hospital gown. The guard then pulls Lewis to his feet, his T-shirt displaying two holes under his chest where the Taser prongs hit him.
Mr. Lewis was arrested and charged with endangering a child. A grand jury in May declined to indict him on that charge, but charged him with retaliation, accusing him of making threats against Boling. Lewis also has been charged with a second count of retaliation alleging he made a threatening call to Boling at his home.
Denying both charges, Lewis said he is considering suing the hospital. No word on those anger management courses our White compadre needs to take so he can being a better husband and father.
