Now they're finding ways to kill people without shooting them!

This just seems like an unfortunate situation where both parties made mistakes. Like a mistake that could happen even if we had the best police force in the world. Makes it hard to trust anything you say min. You're way too biased.

Erm..what mistakes did the guy dying from an asthma attack make?

Minus him

That is effectively what the cop did.

Fuck. At least he didn't shoot him. I suppose I have to settle for that.

Fair enough.

And he did call for medical attention, and the cops sound like they did what they thought was best. They stopped a woman who ran a red light. woman took a risk because she was concerned for a loved one, cops did their job as professionally as possible, and an unfortunate death occurred.

Gee...if only he'd put on his lights and said "follow me" the poor guy wouldn't have laid on the ground gasping until the EMT's arrived.

Still, although not effective he did call for help...which is more than these two motherfuckers in blue did.

Butler said the officers never came down to check on the mortally wounded man, and medical help was only sent after she banged on a neighbor’s door for help.

That's right. After you, as a peace officer, sworn to protect and serve, shoot someone, you don't call an ambulance, you don't attempt to help the ictim, you stand around and watch the person bleed out. Oh wait, that's Ferguson, and Oakland. Here they did something a little different...

Both officers were taken to Jamaica Hospital and treated for tinnitus.

Quote:"I shot him accidentally," Liang told colleagues afterward. His partner never fired his gun, the source said.

"Accidentally" lined up the sights with the man's chest and "accidentally" pulled the trigger?

I highly doubt that.

The word he is apparently grasping for, and failing to find, is "negligently".

And yet again....no surprise.

Quote:No indictment in NYC police chokehold death of Eric Garner

The Medical Examiner ruled it a homicide but a grand jury seems to think it was just natural causes.

Assholes.
