Denver Deputies Cleared from death of Inmate Booker - CLOSED

[AMD-65]

What do you guys think. Below I have included a link to the tape that was released today "his family made it sound like this tape was going to be like the beating of rodney king". I am happy the deputies got cleared. Dont get me wrong sucks the guy died, but he gets arrested for drug possesion, Resists against a female deputy and continues to resist. And of course is family is suing denver since loved him so much. I think its funny that when he was homeless doing drugs on the streets he was not worth saving but now that he is dead they see dollar signs.

Why yes. Yes it is.


On the subject of the movie and the fact it was filmed with a fish eye lens...............

I don't think those cops need to be so fat and break peoples neck other than that he shouldn't have started fighting with the cops, because they will bounce you off the floor and not bat an eye if you get hurt.

Cops seem to be thugs up in Denver, I'll avoid it whenever I can. Cops beat a guy up really bad, get fired & then city pays $795,000. These cops killed this guy, should be worth a couple million...the city sucks.

My stepkid is a Denver Sheriff, although he's not at the jail any longer(now doing technical and training, mostly). He saw the video long before the public, and said there's nothing in it to indicate excessive force. The "family" is trying to capitalize on this incident, with the assistance of "community activists", which translates as loud, obnoxious, button pushers playing a whole deck of race cards to further their own agenda. The couldn't give 2 sh!ts for him when he was alive, but because he died in custody, they can garner a sh!tload of free publicity.

And please Bushmasterboy, avoid the metro area, we don't need anymore with your train of thought up here.

A man in custody died and that is a tragedy.

Here is the official reason why he died: "A coroner's report said Booker died from cardio respiratory arrest. An enlarged heart, emphysema and cocaine were also listed as contributing factors."

I watched the video. Could anyone else who watched the video tell me the time marker when the deputies used excessive force? If they hadn't stunned him they would have used impact weapons (like a night stick) and control tactics to restrain him.

If this man had fallen down and struck his head on one of the many chairs, and there was no one else around him, it wouldn't change the family's desire for justice. No amount of money will change the fact that he is dead. The deputies were doing what they had the authority and training to do, and by law were required to do with people in custody.

Sadly, this has happened before and will happen again.

he had himself a "people that annoy you" moment that his body was not equipped to handle.

He fought the law and -guess what- the law won.
