I'm usually on the side of the police in these videos but not this one. This guy should be fired and charged criminally. Brutal.

On this device, the electricity passes through a ~2" section of your thigh muscle if that's where it is attached. Electricity takes the path of least resistance. Even if applied directly over the chest the current will not go deep enough into the chest to effect the heart. That is why most people who are tasered with a traditional taser, where the path of current is across the chest, 99.9% do not die.

A consensual fight is not illegal and does not constitute an Assault charge.

I agree that it should not be simple. But you are speculating a great deal as to what the police knew, and when they knew it. The"total picture" of police knowledge won't be known until several things play out in court. It will be public record and it can be debated then.

I disagree about the gunpoint evacuation thing. If they suspect he was in a boat, isn't it possible that he moved since police received that information? Couldn't he be in a house now? Seems reasonable to use caution given what his actions were throughout this event. I wouldn't like being pulled out of my house at gunpoint either, but I wouldn't think the police were doing it just to be dicks.

Getting a warrant to search a house isn't that simple. It takes more time than they had plain and simple. I can't fathom how anyone could think that police, having reasonable grounds to believe that an armed suspect who had committed several murders of innocent civilians in the previous hours is contained in a specific neighborhood, should stop, contain and commence writing search warrants for every house they want to search. Each one taking at minimum 1-2 hours to type, and additional time to be read and approved by the Judiciary. In fact, it would be reckless and irresponsible to do this and allow any other people to be killed in the meantime. This is why exigent circumstances clauses exist. It has never been seen on this scale before and that is due to the extraordinary circumstances.

To argue there shouldn't be an "exigent circumstance" clause, is also ridiculous. If police believe on reasonable grounds, that a suspect is in his house they need a warrant. If they believe he is currently destroying evidence of the crime for which he is a suspect, they do not need a warrant. But rest assured, the police MUST articulate their use of exigent circumstances every time it is used and the scrutiny from lawyers and judges will be fierce. People seem to think that it is a free pass for police to do what they want with no recourse. It is not.

Hopefully you're the one he runs over next time.

Jesus... He's a comedian. You got that right?

Not sure about Detroit, but pretty universally the police are exempt from traffic laws while in the execution of their duties. People can argue what constitutes "execution of duties" if they want, but police are required at a moments notice, to have to exit their vehicle quickly and deal with dangerous situations... Nuts like this think they don't wear them because they are somehow flaunting their extreme authority... as if a cop is driving around around thinking "look at me and all my badass power,,,seatbelt dangling to the side... a symbol of how superior I am to the writhing, whining masses who must wear them". Hope this idiot enjoys his jail time.

You're not trying hard enough.... on another note, what accent is this? The barber sounds like Brick Top from Snatch.

I love that he washed the truck... since he was there anyways...

We're just talking monkeys people... If this outrages you then you have committed the fatal mistake of raising your expectations of others.

change DNA for VHS tapes and there you have the aging process.

Did the last guy out still have his cigarette in his mouth?

So they're garbage pickers.... good luck with that.

The best thing to do if you find yourself in this situation is give the Dolphin an Old Fashioned. That way he will leave you alone long enough to return to the safety of the surface.
