The mother of Rudy Eugene, who was shot and killed by a police officer as he chewed the face off a homeless man in Miami, says her son was "a nice kid" who could have been subdued with a Taser rather than gunfire.
"He was a good kid. He gave me a nice card on Mother’s Day. Everyone says he was a zombie. He was no zombie. That was my son,” the mother, who asked that her name not be revealed, told CNN affliate WFOR.
Eugene, 31, was killed by a police officer on Saturday after an 18-minute attack on a homeless man, identified by police as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Video of the incident shows Eugene coming across Poppo on a sidewalk along Miami's MacArthur Causeway, stripping clothes off him and eventually chewing on his face.
Police said Poppo lost 75% of his face in the attack. He was in critical condition at a Miami hospital.
Eugene's mother said police didn't need to shoot her son.
"They could have tased him," she told WFOR. "I saw what happened on TV and I started crying.”

Me thinks the victim would think otherwise Mommy san. Of course his limited interaction with your “nice kid” put him in the hospital fighting for his life and if he is blessed enough to have more time he will have only the use of 20 % of his face and that was left just because apparently your son doesN’T like to eat beard.
He was a quiet person. He didn’t over eat. What is a half of a face?
Nice tagline
Yeah, just a “nice kid” with a serious case of the munchies. Who hasn’t had that?
Um, a tazer? Multiple gunshots to the body didn’t work. It took a headshot to kill this monster.
Eating people? Check. Impervious to pain? Check. Gunshots to body ineffective? Check. Headshot needed to kill? Check.
Sure sounds like a zombie to me!
I thought that both men were white. Now that it is known that the attacker was a black man and he was shot to death by a policeman.. well I can imagine the rest. Screams of "Racism!" from the Victims Industry.
This horror is nothing to joke about. But I did remember Obama's words from 2008. Obvious he did not mean anything like what happened.
you NEVER taser zombies
then they turn into fast moving zombies.
much worse
Somebody posted a propoesed headline on a thread yesterday, something to the extent of “Hungry Black Man Murdered by Racist Cop”.
According to a story that I read yesterday morning but is no loger available online, the family is Haitian but Zombie Guy was born here.
Mother of the Year, no contest.
Was the cop racial profiling? Send in the mediots to try this case.
Pray for America
This article screams for your attention. :)
Another one of Obama’s sons, a victim of this racist society. He coulda been a brain surgeon if the system hadn’t ruined him with drugs.
Just having a friend for dinner . . .
I swear I thought this was satire.....
LOL
Ya gotta eat through the face to get to the brains.
