Dean's World

A man who was in a rage according to his wife, who was not taking his medication, she should know, and she must of been scared when she called the police.

A restrained man, still fighting the officers and the restraints. From the video it is hard to tell what happened, but the man was fighting the officers, and the taser did not subdue him on the first shot.

I honestly don't see anything from the video that is criminal. A death happened, and the man himself contributed to his own death, by not taking his medication, and by resisting and fighting the officers.

I can hear the screams and crys about a black man dies at the hands of white officers again!

There is always some lawyer willing to take a case like this, and promote it through the media, instead of the legal system.

I will be the first to admit that I have a bias for police. They put themselves in grave danger everyday, so I am often more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think one of the issues at play here is that police around the country have been getting more and more "non-lethal" alternatives to their normal side arms. Fantastic. The problem, then, is that this is a misnomer. These ARE NOT "non-lethal" weapons they are "less-lethal" weapons; but they're still killing people.

A cop would never think to fire a bullet into a crowd of civilians, but if you give him a gun that fires pepper balls he does it without flinching... and kills a college student (I am sure most of you remember that story. I just graduated from Emerson College, the school that lost that student).

I don't blame the officers, per se, but the training they received.
