Well they tazered her son, pepper-sprayed her. Frankly, you;d have thought they'd have found someone to shoot, so they could make it a perfect Grand Slam.

Utter imbeciles. Talk about escalation.

Turn around or I will pepper spray you - **** you, don't **** with me

Alright then I will pepper spray you .....

The article states a "heavily edited video" was shown on TV, why do they bother with this ? It doesn't build trust on either side. The full video shows a slightly different story.

The son could always have stopped when the police asked him to .

Police attempt a traffic stop - the driver ignores them.
Police instruct him to stay in the car - the driver ignores them.
Police tell him to stop walking into house - the driver ignores them.
Police tell him to come to the door - the driver ignores them.
Police force entry (maybe they should have just gone away at that point?)
Police tell him to show his hands - the driver ignores them
Police tell him to come toward them - the driver ignores them.
Police tell mother to keep back - mother ignores them
Police tell mother to back off - mother states "fk you"
Police taser driver (who subsequently becomes compliant)
Police instruct mother to back off - mother employs yet more colorful language
Police pepper-spray profane old bag - peace is restored.
Everyone goes to jail - a pretty satisfactory outcome in my humble opinion- all things considered.

He drove/ran from the Police, he's in the wrong. (maybe he didn't fancy getting shot wink ) that was a joke by the way.
He doesn't answer the door, again in the wrong.
He stands there with his hands in the air & gets tasered, he's stood with his hands in the air, are you trying to tell me with all the police in the house one of them couldn't go upto him & cuff him.
The OLD WOMAN posed no threat but was pepper sprayed, Police in the wrong.

Yep. There is some grey area in that.

The other 2 posted on this same page? How the fk can you even begin to justify them?

Armed idiots with no training in a society where anyone can have a gun. It's a third world country. Not the leader of the free world.

This quote from the article is possibly the most worrying:-

After the shooting, Crutcher could be seen lying on the side of the road, blood pooling around his body, for nearly two minutes before anyone checked on him. When asked why police did not provide immediate assistance once Crutcher was down, MacKenzie said, “I don’t know that we have protocol on how to render aid to people.”

I think that the answer may be here:-
"The termination letter detailed two other complaints, both of which Mr Mader disputes. "
