Tragic. :sad:

Read about a Taser death in Shropshire. Didn't have a name then. Wonder what was he doing to be 'Tasered'.
RIP

Perhaps we could have some USA style riots. I mean it is summer and the weather is good for the next week.

Shocking........overused weapons (they are not a restraint)

Thoughts and prayers go out to Ron and the rest of the family from Karen Brady.

Really makes me think, a few years back on a football team tour we brought one and were tasering each other for a laugh and filming it. It hurt but seemed fun at the time, never realised that something like this could happen!

EDIT: Sorry made that post about me, really should put an RIP in there so I don't do a Barna

Very sad news.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Yeah sad to hear this, was shocked when I heard his name on the radio.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Lot's of different eye witness reports coming out in the media;

The Police went too far with the Tazer, and also laid the boot in too?!?
Dalian was seriously ill, and heavily medicated
Dalian was drunk and threatening his father...

Whatever the story the Police are culpable - real shame, as he was a nice guy according to ex team mates and close friends. I will always remember that goal !

One witness on the news last night discribed Dalian as " An African Gentleman" .

127 black people have died due to police brutality or contact since 1999....how many police officers have been brought to justice? I'll give you a clue....it's less than one.


Corruption and racism throughout the system...rotting to core as they cover up there peado mates.

Are you talking about real figures or just plucking them out your arse? Where is your proof of this corruption and cover ups. And have you actually stopped to ask yourself why tazer was deployed.
