A stun gun should have brought him down even if he was high as a kite. Unless the gun didn’t have enough charge. Should be 12,000 volts or more, to bring anyone down. Electrical charges causes a person to be physically, and somewhat mentally, incapacitated. even high as a Chinese balloon.

I wish I could find a clip but have been unsuccessful at tracking it down for a decade.

Maybe You should be looking for a Magazine.🤪

I agree they should have used nightsticks since the guy was only wielding a belt.

Very nostalgic for me. Before I retired ten years ago, I spent many an early-morning at that McDonald’s on Brookhurst at Orangethorpe, drinking coffee and reading my Bible before work, amid the Korean pastors and professors.

We had our share of loony-tunes—homeless who sometimes acted out, necessitating FPD attention—but we never made it into KTLA’s newscast.

Well I must say, wielding a belt shouldn't be a death sentence.   Pansy azzed officers should have charged the man and taken the belt.   Unlike a belt, a beanbag isn't fatal.

They should ask themselves what would Sheriff Andy Taylor do, or think of something with a little bit of common sense, instead of this take'em down, take'em out policing.

A beanbag is a riot standoff weapon, not a personal confrontation weapon.

Surely the autopsy showed his level of drug intoxication?
