Now they "baited" him into taking a Breathalyzer...
1) someone can feel drunk and not be drunk. 2) The only way to be sure that someone is drunk is by offering him to take a Breathalyzer. 3) They need to be sure that he's drunk, before arresting him.
He was scared because he was apparently on probation... He did not want to return to prison, why did he DUI ?
Baited maybe the wrong word, insisted if you rather.
Why did he DUI while on probation? Because he's an idiot.
So let me get that straight, you blame the police officers because they were not strong enough, because the moron took a taser gun after fighting and beating them, because they "baited" him into taking a Breathanalizer and because they arrested him and should have driven him to the "supposed house" of his sister...
You are clueless.
Maybe putting it into a hockey analogy will be simpler for you. If a single forward is coming down your zone and he dekes out both Dmen, are you going to blame them?
You make it sound like he's Goliath and the cops are David.
Yes, it's their job to neutralize a suspect, it's their job to conserve their weapons, and it's their job to ''serve and protect''. They did none of these things. Guy was passed out, he wasn't a risk anymore, there was no need to use excessive force and they mishandled the situation.
Yes yes I'm clueless and mister student here with a wealth of world life experiences from the sounds of it knows whats up.
He was sleeping and the bad cop shot him...
No man, he was a good cop and handled things brilliantly remember? Hence his promotion to unemployment.
Maybe the USA is that messed up. They most likely wanted to appease the rioters who think he was an innocent victim.
Or maybe not and they are gone because they handled things poorly. Or maybe the Police Department is clueless too and you hold the truth.
The job was not great, in a perfect world it could have stopped if the suspect did not resist. Could have been prevented if the cops were strong enough, but it was not the case and I won't blame them for it.
They didn't do a good job, the guy was a bozo. He still did not deserve to die. That's all there is to it.
You want them to drive him to his supposed sister's house ? You want to give the benefit of the doubt to a guy apparently on probation ? I mean he sure has no incentive to lie...
I knew it was coming, "They should not have arrested him."
What kind of B.S is that ? The guy DUI and we want to give him a free pass ? Do you have empathy for human life ? The one that dies under criminals who DUI ? It seems that you have more empathy for the criminals who fight/shot the cops with a deadly weapon... It's disturbing.
It's disturbing because you can't even understand the point. You have a wall of simplicity in front of your face ''guy resisted arrest, grabbed a taser from the cops, ran, aimed/shot, and they killed him in response'' justified, case closed.
Because you don't deserve to die for a DUI, even if you resist arrest and get a hold of a taser.
Do you know why he was DUI...do you know why he has his rap sheet...do you know his upbringing and the struggles of his life? I guess who gives a crap about any of this because OMG he stole the taser and shot it at the cops! Kill that guy!
He had to be arrested, they tried to do it, but he did not cooperate.
Honestly I'm speechless.
No he didn't have to, just like cops didn't arrest me when I was trespassing lost wasted and instead they just drove me home, didn't even give me a big ticket, just a tiny fine so they can file something in response to call.
