You’re wacked ,, he never attacked the cop ,, just attempted to destroy evidence by swallowing it ... there is not one frame of video showing an attack on the cop .

When a cop is trying to handcuff you and you engage him in a fight because you are trying to commit a felony (destroy evidence that is hidden on your person, then that is attacking, what did you think initiated all that fighting?

[wolfcreek]

You just making stuff up, aren’t you?

If it weren’t for the damn WOD and stupid, redneck LA cops, the guy would still be breathing.

You can’t let them have that kind of leeway.

[ansel12]

So when did the perp throw his punches?

You must not fight much if you think that punches have to be thrown.

[wolfcreek]

Where does the video show the *perp* throwing any punches? (or kicking, or kneeing?)

I can a bunch of FReepers getting walked all over by anyone claiming to be an authority.

[ZX12R]

They could stop if you can get the evidence into your mouth, then they can take off the one handcuff that they did get on you and let you go on your way. the arrest, the fight, the destroying of evidence all forgotten.

Sorry, but your post made no sense to me, and I couldn't tell whether you were agreeing or rejecting what I said. My intention was to expose how utterly barbaric police behavior is becoming in this country. Anyone who tries to defend this kind of barbaric reaction to a person with a drug problem has got to be seen as someone out of their mind with a "death to the drug users" mentality. Law enforcement is quickly getting the rep as death squads. It truly saddens me to see this happen.

,, just attempted to destroy evidence by swallowing it ...

Well, a case could be made that while the officers tried to save his life from a drug overdose he expired.

Certainly this will be investigated.

[ansel12]

What do you think he was doing, it was a fight, the fight ends when one of you stops.

[Hank Kerchief]

“You must not fight much if you think that punches have to be thrown.”

Apparently you do, since you claim to know so much about it. Typical thug type. Civilized people do not “fight much,” but this has become a totally uncivilized country, thanks to you and all the other jocks who think being able to throw a punch is a good substitute for brains.

The cop was on the guy’s back, choking him nearly the entire video and he had one of his hands in the cuff. (except when the cop was getting his punches in) The dumbass redneck didn’t even realize he’d killed the guy.

[ZX12R]

Well, a case could be made that while the officers tried to save his life from a drug overdose he expired.

Are you kidding me? Are you retarded? Tried to save his life? LOL! That's damn funny, but I bet it isn't very funny to his family. You are quite sick. Yes, very sick.

[wolfcreek]

Or one is DEAD! YOU ARE WRONG!

[3niner]

See, taking drugs can kill you.

[HEM]

wolfcreek’s a troll, trying to elicit over-the-top statements from freepers by spouting moronic b.s. that has no relation to the video, the news reporting or reality as we know it.

Best to ignore him.

[ansel12]

I was being sarcastic, once the handcuffing and the search starts then it has to be finished, a cop cannot let you fight him and prevail.

You cannot make a rule that once the process starts and you are being handcuffed that you can start fighting and if you can get the evidence into your mouth then you get a freebie that day.

[tet68]

Clearly a case of death by stupidity.

[perez24]

If he wasn’t driving around with meth he’d be alive too.

[Neidermeyer]

“Then there are sheepdogs,” he went on, “and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.” Or, as a sign in one California law enforcement agency put it, “We intimidate those who intimidate others.”
*****************************************************
So as a sheepdog you kill any sheep that wanders off to the edge of the field?

[DFG]

I should have clarified that I was mainly referring to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for pain killer addicts like Rush either though. I have not been a fan of his since his multiple divorces and Oxycontin addiction that have distracted from his message and the message of conservatives.

[tet68]

Sick, no I just watched the video, he resisted arrest, he
swallowed evidence, he continued to resist the officer,
at some point the plastic bag blocked his airway, the officers then gave CPR to no avail.

case closed.

The war on drugs has become a monumental embarrassment for law enforcement.

More than that, it's costing the American people hundreds of billions a year.
