third story

Relatives of a man who was killed after police entered his homeand tased him are struggling to come to terms with how he died.“They physically pulled him off the couch because, like I said,he was asleep. They pulled him off the couch and they tried to puthim on his stomach. He can’t breathe on his stomach. He don’t evenlie on the bed on his stomach,” said Donna Randle, the mother ofvictim Jarmaine Darden, 34.Zero tolerance officers were executing a search warrant at hissoutheast Fort Worth house on May 16, searching for cocaine, whenaccording to police reports the incident happened. The same reportstates that Darden resisted arrest.But family members said the 350 pound father of two was achronic asthmatic and had to sleep sitting up.“He had his hands behind his back the whole time. But me andabout five other people were hollering the whole time, ‘He cannotbreathe like that. Please handcuff him on his side,’” saidRandle.Darden’s brother said the officer warned his brother that if hedidn’t get on his stomach, they were going to to taze him… and thenthey did. That’s when Darden started having trouble breathing,according to his brother Eric.Witnesses said Darden was shocked with a taser at least twice;then stopped breathing and died.Police records show five arrests were made but there isn’t anymention of police finding cocaine.Darden was the father of two teenage sons. Was.

Just quoting this in case Steve decides to delete his OP again.

I think people who advocate violence against a group of people based on something they heard on the internet is doing something horrible.  Not that the person is horrible, but the act is horrible.

Some cops are jackasses. Most are decent guys just doing their job. Every profession has their bad apples. Advocating shooting them is pretty low.

When the LA cops were shooting at trucks that resembled Dorner's you said that was bullshit.

LAPD paid out a pretty hefty settlement for those actions.

The police kill people  because they can.  Not all of them, but enough.

How many is "enough"? Just trying to figure out what proportion of police officers you consider to be cold-blooded murderers.

Isn't this the same argument used by terrorists everywhere?  An XXXX killed someone innocent from my country/religion/tribe/ethnicity/etc.  I saw it on the internet, read about it in a magazine, heard about it from my cousin's former roommate.  So it's fair to go kill some XXXX.  And if a few innocent XXXXX get killed in the process, well that's no more big of a deal than what they did.

Steve won't be able to do that, Miss Margarita.
