1. The cop was not using lethal force. Who knew trying to apprehend a fatso would result in his death?
2. The perp was resisting arrest. Even the edited video showed him not obeying the office. What was the officer to do? Give the perp his business card and ask the perp to self-report back at the station at his own convenience?
3. The Jacksons and the Sharptons have now allies in the Krauthammers and the Savages.
If a dozen cops can’t handle a simple daytime arrest of an obese person without doing something wrong and killing him, then something is wrong.
There seems to have been a policeman there that contributed to this death during a petty arrest.
The Jacksons and the Sharptons have now allies in the Krauthammers and the Savages.
Bull crap.
Actually, for the crime of "selling cigarettes" that is exactly what I would do, "Sir, please sign this citation. If you decide to plead guilty, you can just send in a check for $ XYZ."
The guy was a career criminal, albeit a petty one, but what got him killed wasn’t “selling loose cigarettes,” it was resisting arrest. And no cop is going to pussy - foot around a 6’+ 350-pounder!
Were you listening to Levin today?
Exactly right.
.... Give the perp his business card and ask the perp to self-report back at the station at his own convenience?
That’s how 0bama treats the illegal tresspassers.
Maybe that’s how 0bama and Holder want to arrest all Criminals.
I would love a business card, and suggestion to turn myself in, instead of a ticket for speeding.
