1. The police have gone insane

There are far too many cases like this. They kill people for no reason.

2. YAY COPS!

THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

3. that is fucked up

[MNBrewer]

4. He probably deserved it

because being on the roof is illegal, and the police are entitled to take any measures they want to punish... I mean.. um...

6. It reduces recidivism.

11. Okay, let me get this straight

Guns don't kill but tasers do? Suddenly it's the tool rather than the person?

7. "Tough Call????" JFC. nt

8. This might be a big deal in some countries

Here in the United Police States of Amerikkka, cops have all the rights.

Thanks mostly to the "war" on some drugs and the "war" on terror.

9. Well, at least he wasn't allowed to jump off the roof himself.

Suicide is illegal!! Anybody succeeding would be subject to prosecution. Law enforcement are only trying to protect people from criminal activities.

So stop complaining.
<== Need I?

10. WTF?

It was a grown man it's his roof, just leave him the hell alone. They wasted all those resources and then killed him for no good reason. Disgusting.

12. deliberate actions by cops that killed the guy, as in murder 2nd degree?

"A killing that results from an act that demonstrates the perpetrators depraved indifference to human life" - yahoo

13. They may get a paid vacation out of this

Was it too much trouble to get someone there that has experience with this sort of thing to talk to the guy instead of using tasers?

[A Little Weird]

14. It probably wouldn't have even made news if they hadn't got the video evidence.

I beginning to wonder if we might not be better without police at all if this is what we get.

15. Its a good thing the cops didn't use guns.

The guy could have been killed.

16. Just another beautiful day in the freest not-authoritarian state in the world. n/t

17. On a roof / In a tree / Cops with tasers / Won't let you be / Burma-Shave. n/t

18. Cops are killers.

Get rid of police forces. They don't protect and they don't serve. They are revenue generating machines now, with no respect for human dignity or life.

19. Police State!

Coming to your neighborhood soon!
