IDK. They probably didn't do anything egregious but we will see. I at least applaud his family for not being involved with the protests and just wanting answers to what happened. It is a nice contrast compared to what happened in the Jacob Blake case where family members actively lied about what happened to get people's dander up from Hour 1 of the incident. While rare, tasers can cause atrial fibrillation followed by cardiac arrest.

That said, I really did not see in the video that has been released yet the deceased exhibiting "violent" behavior which has been alleged by the police department. quite simply, not enough info out there yet to really make an informed judgment IMHO.

The video is only part of the interaction. Like I said, the police are alleging violent behavior and I don't see it in that snip of the video.

Ironic since you posted a video link in Post #13 without paying attention to the reporting that there are a lot of questions around this chain of events.

They didn't shoot him. They tazed him.

Fuck it, if you break the law I have no sympathy for you. Enough of this "was it justified" shit. If you break the law then as far as I'm concerned the results don't matter because once you break the law you took your life I to your own hands.

Don't want the cops after you? Don't break the law. How hard is it for people to understand this?
