did anyone see this last night?

I finally saw the entire video. Frank and I disagree on this. (the guy died) He feels bad for the guy and thinks the cops were wrong.. I totally disagree, if you see the entire video you see this guy MAJORLY resisting arrest.. it took thre cops to get this guy on the ground and he would NOT put his hands behind his back.. the cops had to beat him with the night sticks..
I knew the guy was on drugs.

What should the cops have done, said 'oh ok you dont want to be arrested, well ok just waalk away'

If your going to commit a crime you have to pay, unfortunatly this guy was so stupid he paid with his life..

I'm sorry but drug addiction is not a disease in my opinion. It is a choice. You choose to use drugs and the fact that your body becomes physically dependent on them is well known before you make that choice.

No one chooses to have cancer.

Just my 2 cents.

How right you are!!! You choose to take a hit of pot or pop a pill....no one forced you!!! I cant stand these people that get involved in substance abuse and then the rest of us have to feel sorry for them!! Not me buddy!!!

The moment that man took drugs, which are illegal, he bacame a criminal. The fact that he lunged at a cop regardless of what was in his system, also made him a criminal. The cops do what they can to take in criminals without any aggression or force, it is easier for them that way too. But when it is needed, and unfortunatly it does happen, they do need to use some kind of force to apprehend criminals who resist arrest. If this guy was willing to attack cops with guns and night sticks, what is to stop him from attacking someone walking down the street?
