Firstly it was a raid, rather than a call out, as I seem to recall he was supplying coke and secondly he stabbed himself during the raid.

Secondly, no masterminding of racism brought into original suggestion. I thought the same that some stupido individual would want to PRO-ACTIVELY seize upon black matters link when we are yet to know full extent of external official investigations. Secondly, there is an 85 year old distressed father who is tonight grieving for his son. Thirdly, I'm starting to doubt efficacy of FA towards ex-professional players and initial support for their welfare upon exiting the game...especially when said national organisation is bloated with enormous capital. Mental health issues within and BEYOND professional sport is ...rife!

Alcoholism and drug addiction are probably higher though aren't they - particularly the former? Not that I know any specifics about this case.

A witness on the radio earlier said he was being kicked by the police, before the one with the taser told the others to get out the way before using it on him. Doesn't sound good. She also said none of the police involved were wearing body cameras.

Tasering unarmed, and possibly drunk, people should be illegal. Some of the police seem to see it as first resort and not last. You have all facts of what happened available to you then I assume??
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Hearing the reports that he shouted 'It's not working' after the first shot with the taser it would seem he was intent on not stopping what he was doing (not that there's any evidence that he was in the middle of some act of aggression toward them or the public) I can see why the police might need to use one, and then a follow up with another shot, but 3 shots and then kicking him on the floor enters the realms of what we've recently seen in America.

Both officers up for gross misconduct and a criminal investigation has been opened.
