It's not just in the ghettos, white elitist liberals feel the same way.
Not just a stupid kid....Lazy cops! I bet they played backyard football the same way - if you can’t catch the guy, kick his foot! Take away their tazers and they’d probably be winging the quick fellows with a shot to the foot. But we support that!
A non-violent punk is dead because cops couldn’t catch him so they drew and tazed him. They will likely be doing this to every teen that runs, even white suburban ones like your loser kid or your sister’s ne’er do well screwup - the only good screw up is a dead one because they never ever change.
Um, whoops.
Next thing we know we will hear about SWAT teams coming out with snipers because kids are drawing hopscotch squares on a sidewalk.
Any reports on if he was a white hispanic?
“He was a genius,”
Not to bright of a GENIUS to run from the cops but the story got one thing right. HE WAS.
I didn’t read one comment at the site backing the dead idiot uh genius artist who got himself killed with his foolish actions. They all condemned him.
lol
I’m not a big fan of such liberal use of Tasers. Those things are more dangerous than advertised.
Has anyone else noticed the trend to promote these spray-paint vandals as “street artists”? Tagging a bunch of gaudy crap all over walls and overpasses is NOT a constitutional right, folks. I don’t care how “artistic” the anarchist set thinks it is.
The ones calling it ‘street art’ never seem to offer up their own property for the ‘enhancements’, now do they?
Five is excessive, for sure. Please accept my condolences. Most of the time, the cops do what is right, but they make mistakes and, yes, some are in it for the power.
Most people could not do the job the cops do. It is extremely stressful, and cops who quit or retire go through a decompression and have frequent nightmares for months.
Not making excuses for what happened to your counsin, just pointing out that being a cop is a tough job.
It was the local city cops so it’s not a surprise.
Of all the area LEO, they’re the ones most likely to go medieval on you.
I barely knew him but his parents took it very badly.
Shouldn’t have happened.
He was sort of like Lenny in “Of Mice And Men”.
Very big but harmless, slow and scared.
The cops only saw the ‘big’ part.
They hit him in the back while he was running scared and crying into a cow pasture beside the road.
Glad you think a dead boy who left behind a motherless kid is funny.
That’s awful. I hope they sued.
