This story has that liberal smell to it. They go into great detail about all the events that led up to the poor guys death.

At the end of the report you read, he was an Illegal who had been deported and died resisting arrest when agents picked him up attempting to reenter Illegally.

Sorry the dude is dead. He could have avoided it had he made better life choices.

The officers involved, if found guilty of excessive force, will suffer for their actions.

WOW, we agree on something

The liberal news report made no mention about Illegals who are caught reentering face felony conviction.

More of them should get shot with stun guns. Those cocky sobs. They are ALL criminals, it's illegal to be illegal.

I caught one stealing from one of my stores last week. Loaded up his jacket with over $150 in aftershave THEN took a swing at my partner.

Needless to say he got dropped HARD. When the cops got there we found out he was illegal and has been stealing from a variety of stores to resell the products because he couldn't get a job because he didn't have any identification because he was ILLEGAL. SO he got charged with Burglary and Strong-Arm Robbery and will be deported after he faces the charges and serves his sentance in court.

Then he will be back!

Exactly what I was thinking and then some poor border cop will be charged for using excessive force

The Liberal swing never even attempted to find out the motivation behind the Felon being stunned and taken down.

Of course not! It would have ruined their article.

Ummm Burg carries a 2-8 and Robbery can carry up up to 12 depending on previous record.

So now we will be putting a roof over his head and food in his stomach for the next decade. Sounds like we lose either way!

Not after committing several crimes, not to mention the A$$ whopping he got.

Has anyone any evidence as to what action the felon took that prompted the officers to react so violently.
Or, did a preexisting heart condition made worse by meth-amphetamines kick him over the edge.

I know Tasers are safer then the standard issue 9mm the Federal Law Enforcement Officers carry.

The felon wasn't shot.
He was stunned with a stun gun.

He was hit with a Taser I believe. There is a HUGE difference between a stun gun and a Taser. Stun Guns just cause pain but Tasers put you on you butt and make you flop like a fish.

I'm just going by what's in the article.

It has to be a misprint. You can't fire a Stun Gun, you ca hit someone with it. Plus Stun Guns you get hit with volts and Tasers have the Amps behind it, so Tasers would be the only one that could kill. I have never heard of someone getting killed by a Stun Gun and don't know of ANY Law Enforcement that carries them, they carry Tasers.

I am no expert on those devices but I am pretty sure they are both high voltage/low amperage devices that aren't really different except one has two prongs and the other sends the juice along some wire probes.

Small batteries aren't capable of putting out many amps. And if they did, they would kill quickly.

My stun gun is 1.8 million volts, no amps. My Taser is 50'000 volts and a lot of amps lol. It doesn't use standard batteries. The ones that use small batteries are only good for one or two shots.

well hopefully it will get thrown out of court. (The suit against the border patrol - they have it hard enough) when I read about things like this regarding mexican, haitian and muslim immigrants particularly, it makes me sympathize with the decent law abiding people from those countries that have made good choices and seek refuge here legally. Because, they tend to get lumped in all together when issues flare up.

Despite our grumblings we are a truly big hearted nation where millions have sought refuge from poverty and oppression for literally decades including, most likely, your parents parents, and mine.

this story and LPs story gotta make ya wonder, why illegal? What is in their backgrounds that makes them choose to skip the immigration LEGAL process....scary thought.
