  • According to witnesses at the scene the man did threaten officers with a sharp object. I myself witnessed the end of this event and saw the officers desperately trying to save his life. The coroners report also said that the death was caused not by taser or beating, but by positional asphyxia, which is common with people of his size when placed on their stomach. I have also seen the WPD encounter similar situations and have NEVER seen anything but pure professionalism.

  • Ever see a pre-law student withouot his/her pencil or pen? That's the sharp instrument you're making so much about. At the "crime scene" (Abraham's or the WPD's?)police scene investigation unit sat around eating sandwiches, so I'm told. Not professional, as you claim. It was not a professional kill, it was repeated attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. Professional, I think not! Go soak...

  • I noticed that you are only relaying a story told to you...

    I was there throughout the investigation and never saw anyone eating sandwiches. It is possible that sometime during the hours of investigation after the body was removed that someone did have some sort of lunch break.

    As for the pencil...

    -This guy was not a lawyer, he had just left a rehab facility against the advice of staff

    -Have you ever seen one of those lawyers raise their pencil like they were going to stab a cop?

  • One less thug off the street.

  • Cant believe this happend were my friend works..Its back there in 1:00 in Kentucky

  • Cops have to deal with all kinds of shitballs. If the dude isn't following directions he's gonna get taken down. If he dies....oh well, dont blame the police.

  • There's more to life than "following orders".

  • notice how they "sanitize" the wording of the violence they do, yet when describing the victim they say he was combative, like a soldier in combat; COMBATive, COMBAT... get it? Makes me sick! All eye witnesses say he was NOT combative.

  • that was some bullshit woodland PD! went to far for one guy who didnt even fight back...first they were using there sticks and beating him then tasered him at least 3 times and still were beatting him....WOODLAND PD IS NOTHIN BUT BULLSHIT!!

  • I meant to rate it a 5 and messed up my click.....sorry.

    We do need to know about this kind of thing.

    Thanks for posting it.
