The Police Murdered Him

Kicking with both feet is very difficult to do while standing. And if he's not standing, where is the threat?

If the police put cuffs on his wrists and ankles I'd think the man was on the floor.

Couldn't the police officers simply stepped out of the reach of his kicking legs seeing he was on the floor?

Yes, cops have a hard job, but you have to use good judgement, and it appears it was lacking in this case.

And how were the Police supposed to get the man into the squad car?

So they managed to get the cuffs on despite his super-human strength then had to taser him because he was too dangerous once he was cuffed.

Am I getting this right?

Bodily fluids and bites could be a major concern. But as I've said, I wasn't in the room at the time.

I remember once, in a hospital, when a patient handcuffed ( or restrained ) managed to slide himself out of the bed and remain slightly elevated above the floor. An RN rushed to put the man back in bed, at which time the patient bit the RN on the arm.

The patient was hepatitis (+) at the time. I don't know what his HIV status was.

I was wondering who'd get to Miss Lula first. Rev. Jesse or Rev. Sharpton who, I understand, was actually in Chicago last weekend for some type of summit. I guess they've got a turf agreement of some kind.

In all honesty, I'm not opposed to either one helping her manuever through the **** that the CPD will throw her way once charges are filed. You haven't quite lived until you've been shut down and steamrolled by a big city police department.

Plus you don't know what drugs he's on. Some give super human strength.

Wait until he stopped kicking. Then drag him to the car - if he starts kicking again, drop him until he stops again. I guess being impatient is a good reason to taser some one until they die.

There are some (some) cops who get off to tasering people. They always managed before the taser, why not now?

What the heck?

Are you suggesting the RN should of called the police instead and had the patient tazered to death?
