I’m not happy the husband of a fellow employee wound up dead. I don’t think the officers are happy about it either.

For some unknown reason this man was causing the establishment problems.

For some unknown reason he couldn’t find itself within him to say something like, “Look officers, I was trying to “X”, and didn’t want to accept that I couldn’t. I’m sorry. I let things get out of hand. I promise to go home and not cause any more problems this evening. I’m usually not like this.”

Instead he actually tried to fight the officers.

I don’t care if your 100% in the clear, you’re not going to win by doing that.

Once you step over that line, all bets are off. He could have pushed one of these guys through a plate glass window. He could have gotten the upper hand and seriously injured them.

This was clearly a no win choice on his part. Even if he did best them on the spot, the next scene would have been incredibly bad for him.

The best of people can make poor choices. Most of those choices won’t turn out to cost them their life. In this instance, it did.

I actually am sorry for the loss of your fellow worker’s spouse and your friend. I’m also sorry the officers have to deal with the unintended outcome here.

I'm sure the officers are indeed in some emotional turmoil over this. If he was some hardened criminal maybe they wouldn't be as upset... but he wasn't.

I would not be surprised if his actions and behavior were a result of a diabetes related situation. I've seen people go nutty when the blood sugar goes too low or too high. But I do understand that once he engaged in violence there wasn't much they could do.

However, I don't think I deserve a taser up my A** as another poster said for posting this. I posted this article simply because I knew the person involved. Not to slam police.
