It should move forward. People with Downs are very passive and will comply, once they understand what the order was

Tasering him was not a necessity.

.....the article said he died of a fractured larynx.

That said, to me there too often is a dis-connect in some cops brains. If this kid had a 40 IQ, that surely was immediately recognizable by the cops. Accordingly, in my opinion, they should have backed off. Instead they employed force and now someone is dead. Clearly this brings “training” into question. The New York cops killed the big black guy (training ?) and now this kid. When are police departments going to “get” that a Police Force does not have to ALWAYS employ FORCE first and hire lawyers later. As the judge said, “this kid (mentally)died over the cost of a fn movie ticket”.

I’m not so sure the theater has clean hands either. Pretty stupid, in my opinion, to orchestrate events to where a downs kid got killed over a ten buck movie ticket. What about their training? What was their manager thinking?

Not always. My daughter has been a caretaker for these people for a decade, and they are by no means always passive. Given the right situation, they can become quite violent, and amazingly strong.
