It's unfortunate that everything that the police do in the eyes of law is necessary. Cops 9 times out of 10 will never be held accountable for the deaths they inflict!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for keeping it real Xelvie. Although tasers should be used and it is a shame a man died, I cant tell you how many times Ive wished I had a gun as 'thug" punks harrassed or beat up on a person right in front of me. By time cops usually get there they are gone and get away with beating 3 or more on one guy. The family left behind endures the worst pain in the end...fuckin shame.

Wow...smh

Had they just cooperated this would've never happened. I was 15 turning 16 at the time of this incident when I was there. He was Acting and talking mad shyt trying to be hard in front of his friends. Honestly, doing that tough Tony crap when you're being detained by police means you deserve a bullet in your back. He gets no pity from me.

Couldn't they of just tazed him?

His attorney is wearing a hoodie?

[Sairy Bear]

They should have tasered to show force. Who knows what he was thinking. I'm sure he was under a lot of stress but they're trained to handle conflict professionally.

Although Memphis is a shithole I would think twice before assuming all the 15 men were lowlifes. Some of the individuals killed were children and also young men unarmed minding their business living their life.

Memphis TN is a shithole. I bet those 15 young men were gangbanging lowlifes too
