How does a disability liberate the police from responsibility for their actions?
He shouldn't have died from an encounter. It's clear they were roughing him up from the start.
This is why we need to change the training and expectations of the police.
It's not his disability that caused the incident ... it was his act of resisting arrest. EOS.
Good things the facts actually came out, huh?

Only that we just found out that those weren't the facts, after all. He wasn't disabled, but he was constantly being arrested and moreso than convicted of anything.
PTSD.... how can we handle the citizens who have PTSD and phobias of cops after all the abuse we've witnessed over the years?
Does it have to be spine-severing force we use when arresting them?

Since that didn't actually pan out to be true at all, where does that leave you?

Page not found.
Wow, that certainly makes it clear it could have been his own resisting that caused further injury or there could have been problems existing from additional surgery he received in less than 2 weeks before that.

He didn't have a spinal cord injury or recent surgery.
Would you like to provide more than "page not found" for a source?
Learn how to read, i never provided any link to anything - and the post i quoted at the top of this page that i responded to, has a working link, check it.

I know how to read. In the title of that article it says "Records Indicate Spinal Injury Pre-existing, Part Of Settlement" then in the article it says "which may have included surgeries" and "Other anonymous sources indicate" That article is complete speculation and rumor, nothing in that document cited mentions an auto accident, surgery, or his spine!
How on earth you could have read that and come away thinking "Wow, that certainly makes it clear............" is baffling.
um, please read what i was responding to, with the learn how to read thing, thanks.

You are reading into my post if you think I was implying YOU posted a link. What I was doing was making an assertion and challenging you to refute it with more than a broken link, such as Rusha provided, since she failed to convince me with the rumor-mill article that has since disappeared.

I see, you didn't read both sentences as a single context.
Next time I will hopefully add that extra bit of subtext in my head, for increased clarity. I just thought that the first part of my post and the context to what I was replying would have made me clear in my meaning.

Now it's looking like a homicide, according to the coroner, and charges against 6 officers have been made.
