This is done by "The Band From TV"
I wasn't sure if it was him at first, but after doing a little research and listening to the song closely, I'm pretty sure its him.

U.S. porn industry had 16 unpublicized HIV cases
Fri Jun 12, 2009 2:43pm EDT
By Dan Whitcomb
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - There have been 16 unpublicized cases of HIV among porn actors since a 2004 outbreak made headlines, Los Angeles health officials said on Friday, a disclosure that was likely to raise new concerns about AIDS in the adult film industry.
The revelation came in response to a request for information by the Los Angeles Times, which reported that an unidentified actress had tested positive last week.
The adult film industry had said it was the first case since the 2004 outbreak, the Times reported.
In fact 22 performers have tested positive, including last week's case and five in 2004, according to the numbers released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Since the 2004 outbreak, in which a male star infected three actresses and another performer also tested positive, the $12-billion-a-year U.S. adult film industry has required regular testing by porn actors.
Most of that testing is conducted by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, which issues work certificates to the performers who test negative.
The unnamed actress first tested positive for HIV on June 4 and worked the following day before taking second and third tests, according to the Times.
The second test was also positive and results of the third were pending, according to AIM Healthcare.
"AIM Healthcare has never been cooperative with us and our investigations," Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health, told the paper, adding that the clinic had refused to name the actress or her employer.
In a statement on its website, AIM Healthcare said it was still awaiting "final confirmation" that the actress was positive for HIV.
The porn industry, which is largely centered in the San Fernando Valley suburbs of Los Angeles, includes about 200 production companies that employ about 1,200 actors, the Times said.
Since 2004, 1,357 porn performers have tested positive for gonorrhea and 15 for syphilis, according to county health data cited by the Times.

She didn't sign a speeding ticket, big deal. She's not transporting mountains of guns or cocaine here.. If an angry old lady is a tasable offense to this guy, I'm not sure he's suited to be in law enforcement.
She wasn't tased b/c she refused to sign the ticket. She was tased because of how she was acting. I mean come on, she was acting belligerent on the side of a busy highway.
save it for times their lives are in jeapordy.
What would be worse, she starts pushing the cop again and somehow they both end up on the busy highway, or the cop puts an end to it right there and hits her with the taser?
#519 Re: The Garden » Grandma Tazed » 906 weeks ago
but you dont need to taze people with no weapons and who are physicaly not a threat to the cops...just my opinion....
I understand your reasoning, but if the cop would have used his strength to subdue her, people would still be crying foul b/c he's so much bigger/stronger than she is. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Atleast this way, chances are that being tased ONCE is usually enough to get the subject to cooperate. All the taser really is is just a shock to the system. It isnt meant to harm the person long term like if the cop had physically thrown her around.
Heres a good quote I found:
"Pepper spray goes on for hours and hours, hitting someone with a baton breaks limbs, shooting someone with a firearm causes permanent damage, even punching and kicking - the intent of those tools is to inflict pain, ... with the Taser, the intent is not to inflict pain; it's to end the confrontation. When it's over, it's over."

Say what you want, but the cop made the right call.
