A man who died after police officers in North Carolina's capital city repeatedly used stun guns on him died from "sudden cardiac arrest" related to cocaine intoxication and the police confrontation, according to the state's autopsy report released Wednesday. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner also labeled the Jan. 17 death of 32-year-old Darryl Tyree Williams a homicide.
The autopsy report listed the cause of Williams’ death "as sudden cardiac arrest in the setting of cocaine intoxication, physical exertion, conducted energy weapon use, and physical restraint." A toxicology analysis in part detected cocaine and a chemical that's contained in marijuana in his blood, the report said.
The Raleigh Police Department said its officers were trying to arrest Williams around 2 a.m. for possession of a controlled substance.
Several officers were placed on administrative leave, and the State Bureau of Investigation conducted a probe into what happened. The SBI has submitted its case file to Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman, who will determine whether criminal charges are appropriate, SBI spokesperson Angie Grube said.

White guy?
Lesson learned? DO NOT FIGHT THE COPS ON THE STREET! Fight them in court. 😬
I have close family members in law enforcement. At one time I would say this guy got what he deserves. But now I don’t automatically give the police the benefit of doubt. Too many cops aren’t acting in good faith. A lot of them are operating out there with bad intentions. They think they can do whatever they want because they have a badge and a gun. So I take every case individually and wait for the facts to come out.
A skilled polygraph operator by the name of Bob Gateley confided in me that he was depressed that so few MDPD Deputy Sheriff applicants were free of drugs.

Don’t do drugs boys and girls.
Good idea normally. But if perps aren’t doing drugs, probably wouldn’t have been an issue.
Excellent
Chris Rock has it right
