Seems like an excessive force case to me. Pretty frightening, what a way to die. I guess I'm lucky I survived what the government did to me...at least his case won't be swept under the carpet. FBI is involved in the investigation according to this link:

I agree that it appears that what occured here was very wrong but let's be very careful able sliding into a general cop bashing thread.

Anybody know more about him, why he was on the streets? The pics of him a little earlier on in his life didn't seem to be that of a man homeless bound.

I don't mean to put down the fine men and women of the law enforcement community as I realize their jobs often put them in harms way and they are seldom praised for any of the positive things they do, but....

Why is it that things like this seems to me more and more of a common occurrence these days? I mean, I would think the police would be better trained to deal with subduing unarmed individuals without having to use stun guns, tasers, batons, or other weapons. Especially when there are multiple officers trying to control an un-armed individual. It has become too common to see stories about several officers beating the shit out of one unarmed guy, or woman, or even a twelve year old with a stick.

WTF is wrong with people nowadays? (And I mean on both sides- those resisting the authority of law enforcement and those in law enforcement who over-react to a non-lethal confrontation)

Apparently he was schizophrenic. Probably didn't comply with officers "orders" so they tried to subdue him. They got a little carried away though.

These guys need to be help personally responsible. after watching the beating video the people standing by said he was tazed 4 times, cops coming from all over...just for 1 guy? excessive force maybe?

I hope a metric shit ton of justice is served. those kind of actions should never happen to anyone.
