the police told him to stop resisting when he gave up and they were kneeling on his chest and telling him to calm down. he gave up after the first taze and he couldn't BREATHE when the were PURPOSELY KNEELING on his chest. so just because he was a schizophrenic DOESN't mean he doesn't understand what they say you SMART human being... I AM DONE WITH DOUCHES LIKE YOU...........................­.

@TheLexboy41.... oh and one last thing. I am willing to bet at 30 years of age, I have served MY society better doing the nonprofit, human service, advocacy, and activist work I have done every day for the last 15 years (ON MY FEET NOT MY ASS) IN ADDITION to educating myself with a Masters degree IN ADDITION to trying to raise two little boys of my own to grow into socially responsible young men than you could EVER hope to do for the rest of your lifetime, nevermind your last 40 years. 40! Wow

i have no idea please fill me in on why

[Karlea Browne]

why do police beat people to death

[Lori Unfus]

This highlights the need for an overhaul of the mental health system and training of police in dealing with the mentally ill. Tasers should be outlawed and these officers should be charged with first degree murder.

Gang violence! I have been subdued by police and they never struck at me, and once I am down I just get held there with required force, and why would I be tazed once down? You taze maniacs whom charge with intent to kill, not some poor sobb whos squirming around alittle! Murder this is!

[epictrendy]

Do you even know what SOME of the side effects are to many anti-psychotic meds? Dystonia, seizures, nightmares, tremors, uncontrollable muscle twitching, sexual dysfunction. It's ranges from annoying, to alarming, to embarrassing. It's almost not worth it. There are many times that I've wanted to stop taking my meds. Those meds numb you. They make you feel no ups, no downs. Can YOU even imagine that? Sometimes you just want to feel again. That's why I always went off of mine whenever I did.

I wonder why was he a homeless ? And now his dad is fighting for him ?

[scassidy77]

these police officers involved should be beaten to death also, there life means nothing if they can do this to someone else. I can only hope that one day I could see one of them laying in a gutter bleeding to death so that I could walk by and do nothing but laugh at them.

[Lash.D Albumen]
