I'd like to read more about what happened. The article gives a little insight, but not much. Sounds like a tragic accident, but I'd like to see the whole story. Happen to have any more links about it?
Oh look, another thread about the same thing we're discussing in a billion other threads. Glad to see the board flooded with these types of posts. It's awesome.

Well you edited since but to compare the two is dumb and cops kill way more than lighteningQuote:

Not comparing the two of course. Just stating I don't need much to flood the board to make it look more common than it is. The stats are the stats. Your point to sturg was stupid.
Anyways guess I'll just take a break from here again for awhile.
we know it happens to average out to at least once a day
that is WAY TOO MUCH from a gov't body that should be held to a higher standard and is supposed to be protecting and serving
Having one incident out of 35,000-40,000 arrests a day is excessive? Yeah, I wish there were none but human nature is what it is.
another problem that rolls into this issue and should be addressedQuote:

I'm sure there are avoidable arrests out there as well but generally speaking most people who get arrested deserve to get arrested.Quote:
