The Use of Nunchakus
June 25, 1989
The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." The use of nunchakus on peaceful Operation Rescue protesters by the San Diego Police Department is clearly cruel and unusual. Their use has resulted in broken bones, sprains and other physical anguish. The San Diego police chief, city manager and members of the Citizens Advisory Board on Police-Community Relations believe that such measures are not cruel ("Advisory Board Supports Police Use of Nunchakus on Protesters," June 15)
