Did you hear the presser by the coroner? He explained very well, at least to me, that the death was caused by stress. He commented that it could have happened at that moment regardless of what this guy was doing: fighting with the police, running down the street, in a road rage incident. Anything that would have increased the adrenaline in his system would have resulted in the exact same ending.

If you were the police officer that had a 350+lb man ripping into your head, what would your response have been?

And what if the police had not done anything and this guy attacked a bystander?

And if several officers on top of this guy using nightsticks to restrain him were being flopped around, do you really think a bullet wound to the foot would have stopped him. And again, if they would have shot him, the same result in the adrenaline in the system.

In regards to tranqs, no can do. Since those are based on body habitus, etc, that have to be calculated beforehand, there would be no way or time to figure this out.

"I don't know, it just seems there outta be a better way to deal with these things."

I wouldn't be a cop in that city for any reason. What would YOU have done when this huge guy lunged and attacked your partner in the head? Did you see the beginning of the tape and what started this?

Would you have just stood there waiting for more police to arrive? If so - we might have the cops dead instead of the man who died.
