The Sun has moved the original story to their archives and you have to pay $3.00 to read it. However the quoted paragraph is still visible if you search "man dies after sheriff's use taser" from http://www.sbsun.com/archivesearch

At this link you can hear a podcast of the original Sun news paper article with the 18 and Daley reference. http://robocaster.com/sbsun/podcast-episode-home/ci_18035651/man-dies-after-s...

Rimoftheworld.net also printed the Hwy 18 Daley Cyn Rd. violation explanation but without the incriminating 1/4 mile reference http://rotwnews.com/section/crime-fire/resident/6939

@BluRibTac haha good one!

According to the second story from the police, the victim would have had to have run a second stop sign (at Hwy 18), with a police car behind him with lights on, while driving a constant speed and then pulling over at the Valero station. REALLY?!? Riddle me this, what person, knowing they have a cop right behind them in pursuit for the last 1/4 mile (according to the second story), is going to then blatantly run a stop sign AGAIN, before calmly pulling over another 1/4 mile down the road? BS!

[thexjib]

@TheWoodsBand1 yup... doesn't really add up when you think about it.

[thexjib]

@TheWoodsBand1 I bet there was no stop sign violation.

Even if the police account is true, if there's an existing attitude of distrust with the police, it is safer to pull over in a more public area than in a secluded turnout. In addition, it appears he was not speeding up to elude the police, merely maintaining speed and finding the safest place to pull over. Conclusion: with either story, the SBSD better come up with some answers FAST.

[thexjib]

@phifaces that's right, either way... the first story or the later story... there is no justification for the felony stop.

I am of the opinion that the public should expect from the cops the same as the cops expect from any person who is accused of a crime. Try changing your story to them and see what happens... I suspect they wont believe anything you tell them.

[GetMeThere1]

The police are "against" the public. How did this happen? They treat the public like cattle they have to herd and control. It certainly doesn't matter to them that one gets butchered now and then.

First of all, I think people SERIOUSLY need to THOUGHTFULLY ask themselves the question: what would REALLY happen if we simply CLOSED most police service? The TRUE ANSWER is: really, not much.

[blueaardvark1717]

if you look at the road it is an unsafe stop even in clear weather. he prob know it would be safer for him and the officer to continue on to the gas station only 1/4 mile down the road. or maybe like i have and others have he may have had the radio on so loud that he didnt hear the sirens till a 1/4 mile later. my 1st guess is prob more correct but it is only a 1/4 mile eather way not 1 mile or so

Google: RESTRAINT ASPHYXIA – SILENT KILLER. Allan Kephart was suffocated to death in a classic case of escalating use of force to subdue someone who is simply trying to breathe.

[murmur5555]

Incompetent prone restraint.

Google:

NYPD report on Positional asphyxia 2003 - YouTube

#DOJ statement in 1995 on avoidable death in restraint or custody: Positional Asphyxia and Sudden Death

Asphyxial Death During Prone Restraint Revisited: 21 Cases

Prone restraint, if used at all, should last only seconds. There should NOT be a sustained "struggle" on the ground. People die very quickly in this position, especially if they have fat in the abdomen which further interferes with breathing.

[murmur5555]

The police should be charged with negligent homicide or manslaughter. A regular person would be charged similarly. The police have a higher degree of responsibility due to their legal ability to restrict citizens' freedom using arrest, restraint and confinement and the expectation that they will carry out these acts in a competent manner using the least amount of force necessary. Lethal forms of restraint, as was used in this case, are unacceptable.

[CASEBOLT100]

the same pirate murderers broke into my house-1 month after they killed MR. Kephart! my surveillance got in the way of their drug opps. 3 days ago brealle ramirez hit me w/ her car-i sustained injuries on my right hand & arm-the sheriff was gardea-he made my husband & child leave& began mocking me-no arrest b/c they broke my door and had to pay for it! so you see they did not stop being ultra aggressive!

[KJV1611ASV1901]

SUPPOSEDLY, the FBI is investigating this incident. What you want to bet they back the cops story of this 100%? Cops stick together. Especially when they murder innocent citizens like this one. Folks around here then will be sticking together AGAINST these murdering cops.

[KJV1611ASV1901]

In that area then, if a cop turns his lights and siren on behind you, and there is no place to pull off the highway safely, just stop right there in your lane. Leave the highway unpassable in your lane. They are the one who turned the light and siren on. They are the cops. Let them deal with it. If they get out of the cop car and get hit by another car in the fog, TOUGH. They should have thought of that before llighting up some innocent person they are trying to squeeze money out of.

It's easy to see how the drip, drip approach operates in changing the culture of acceptability

When tazers were introduced it was under the understanding that they were only to be used in exceptional circumstances. e.g. where police officers or members of the public were in serious & immediate threat from an individual

These days it seems they use them whenever they like. How can someone already on the floor, being held down on their front by several officers be a serious threat to anyone?
