2. Proves again that people who want to become cops are the LAST people...
Edited on Sat Nov-18-06 12:30 AM by Union Thug
that should be allowed to become cops. Every goddamned person I've known in 'law enforcement' has been an authoritarian prick. For ten years I worked with violent teenagers. We did MULTIPLE DAILY restraints and NEVER ONCE hurt these people. NEVER.

And these fascist pigs, more of them than we ever had in a restraint situation, can't hold this man safely? Fuck that. They knew they were killing him and proceeded.

4. this is the third taser video I have watched today
It is becoming increasingly clear in reviewing these taser videos, that the police can't differentiate between spastic paralysis (in the victim, from the taser shock) and their perception of 'resistance' from the victim. Police officers are can't recognize a medical crisis and be enforcers concurrently. These incidents are going to continue to happen until the public demands that taser use be discontinued.

These devices should be outlawed!

IMO, in this video the victim was clinically dead for at least ten minutes before cpr was even initiated.

6. Didn't it look like someone was holding their hand over the guy's mouth?
So he couldn't breath?

I really hope this can get spread around enough to start another investigation.

11. Yeah, it seems like it's always the same
Being hit with one of those things is going to make anyone reflexively protect themselves, and the stupid cops consider that "resisting." The cops repeatedly escalate the situation, tasering someone who is fighting to stay alive. How dumb are these guys?

8. I can't believe how long it took for someone to administer CPR....
He was long gone before they finally sent in someone to start CPR... Unbelievable ---

I wonder what the final outcome was as far as the officers who were directly involved in his death? Anyone know?

10. I thought it said at the end that they were all acquitted. But I don't want to
it again to check.
