I'm still curious what people think of the story I linked to above. No comments as of yet.

I'm just going to post this one more time in case anybody missed it:
http://www.kpho.com/story/25238969/c...spect-officers Calling out: @kingofjericho @p1et @asap @billup @middleagedal MrTonka So ALL of you guys are going to act like you didn't see this video clip? Every single argument for not indicting Eric Garner holds no weight. Here we have: 1. A man that resist arrest 2. Is aggressively attacking police officers with his hands 3. Is unpredictable 4. Could be reaching for cops guns (common argument used) What the cops did not do: 1. Choke him 2. Shoot him to death I'm curious if Eric Garner did the exact same things in this video, what would have happened? My guess is an instant unload of clips and a statement from cops saying we feared for our lives Last edited by Uber V8; 12-04-2014 at 07:11 PM.. |

I thought he said , his partners arm was caught underneath the perps body and he was punching him in the face because he was afraid for his partners life.

1.) Trying to retrieve what he believed was a bag of heroin from the suspect’s mouth (and preventing Flores from choking) 2.)Fear that one of the other officer’s arms was injured after being trapped beneath the suspect’s body Correct me if I'm wrong, but you just added that to what was reported. |

The parallels to Eric Garner are numerous, including the outcome to the suspect, and the lack of repercussion for the cops. Crazy unpredictable suspect chooses to not act in his own best interest and ends up stone cold dead as a result of the police response (guy died later in hospital after being shot with stun gun, and physically restrained by multiple officers). None of those officers where indicted either. In this case, the expired perp is the same race as the officers, so you cant say that using force to subdue a nutjob who cannot follow simple commands is the exclusive domain of a racist. Yet another example of video proof that it's a really dumb idea to physically fight the law in that manner, instead of taking them to court later, where you at least have a chance of walking out with a pulse.

I hardly believe any cop would have "unloaded a clip" into the guy. They would have subdued him in the exact same manner. These cops chose the "TASER" route, and look at how far it got them? Seriously? Had they gotten him in a hold and took him to the ground, that whole fiasco could have ended sooner, and who knows, a white guy could have been dead. |

Umm.... yes, the cops DID shoot him to death. It was a stun gun instead of a regular bullet with gunpowder, if you want to split hairs, but they zapped him at least 3 times, and the outcome is the same.

First off, it was not reported that his cause of death was directly due to stun guns and physical restraint. It stated that he died later at the hospital while in custody. That's not even the point that I'm trying to make. What I'm getting at is what I've highlighted in bold. Why is this suspect not shot and killed immediately for his actions and threat towards the officers? They tased him three times and was still not able to remove the threat. Usually the next step is to shoot until threat is no longer a threat. Why were the cops SO reluctant and doing everything in their power not to bring out their guns on this white man that has done exactly every "death sentence" worthy action that Mike Brown and Eric Garner has done? Let me paint the picture more clear: Mike brown (black guy) and officer Wilson (white guy) have an altercation = Result, 12 rounds shot at Mr. Brown killing him. White guy (in this video) has an altercation with police officer = Result, fighting and fighting, then tasing and tasing, no guns ever drawn. Eric Garner (black guy) resist arrest = Result, choked to death White guy (in this video) resist arrest = Result; fighting and fighting, then tasing and tasing, no guns ever drawn still confused? That, is what I'm getting at. |

Yes we are confused. No offense, but the comparison is uncontrolled shit. I don't know if that's why nobody else answered, but it's why I didn't (not trying to be a dick although I know I'm a dick... you asked why nobody addressed it so here I am with my reason). Like was already posted, there are so many critical situational differences that it's mostly irrelevant. There are a few things we can discern from the comparison, namely that tasers are not non-lethal and so everybody who is screaming that they should have tased him is ignorant. There are a lot of other reasonable assumptions/conclusions that can be drawn, but none of what you were trying to get across. If anything, the video hurts your stance. |

If I say "he was shot to death", most reasonable people will not think, he must be referring to a stun gun. They're going to think a firearm, pistol, shotgun, etc... Now, since we're all going by the book on all of these cases and cited actual medical records, we have to be consistent and cite that his actual cause of death was due to stun guns. I have no proof that stun guns killed or nor do I have proof that he was on an extreme drug overdose and was on his way out anyways, it simply doesn't matter. What I'm getting at is why was this suspect not shot and killed or choked to death for being equal to or 10X more of a threat than the case of Mr. Brown and Mr. Garner? Is it because of his skin color? Can you answer that? |

1st half of your reasoning is you explaining that your a dick, followed by the video is irrelevant, ended with there are a lot of other reasons/conclusions that can be drawn? Bruh, I didn't tag you for a response for a reason and that shit you just said right there is the reason why. Go back to the general automotive non-BMW and talk about mustangs because you can't even muster up a respectable argument. I see why you chose Raging Clue for your screen name, you don't seem to have one. |

He was "showing signs of medical distress" at the scene, just like Garner did. I suppose the sudden-onset medical distress was unrelated to the cops actions too ? Bottom line is that both suspects acted foolishly, both ended up dead as a result of the actions the cops were forced to make, and cops were not indicted in either case. And I'd bet (but you probably not agree) that in both cases, the officers did not want to see the suspect dead. They used up their limited deployment of taser "zaps" (which cannot be discharged dozens of times in a row like a regular gun, you cant retract the cord, slap in a new battery and shoot again like swapping magazines of bullets) So, with no other non-lethal force available, they waited until other cops arrived, and dog-piled on the guy to physically subdue him, just like the NYPD did. If the NYPD didnt have the sheer manpower advantage they did, the incident may have dragged out longer, and while the result would still be the same (Garner dead), it may not have appeared as though they were putting up with as much resistance as the Phoenix cops did. But, I guess if you are determined to see race in something, you'll see it, whether it's there or not.
