Victim: Roger Anthony, 61, died after an officer blasted him with a stun gun as he rode home on his bicycle

A police officer killed an elderly, deaf and mentally disabled man riding his bicycle by shooting him with a Taser stun gun after he failed to obey instructions to stop.

Roger Anthony, 61, was killed as he made his way home in Scotland Neck, South Carolina, after officers responded to a 911 call about a man who had fallen off his bicycle in a car park.

The caller told dispatchers that the man appeared drunk and that it looked like he had hurt himself.

This is what a brutal police state looks like.

call me anne frank, I think most people, including cops and politicians, want to do right by others

but all groups, including cops and politicians, have that human A## Whole factor amongst them in loud and persistent minorities,,,

This is the **** people are sick of...and yet ANOTHER reason
people are protesting!!

The PIGS involved should lose their jobs and possibly face charges.

Roll your eyes if you want, but I don't see it as a laughing matter.

Cops are out of control, maybe its all these cop shows warping their perceptions.

Am I laughing?

Im playing devils advocate to say I respect what law enforcement tries to do and I am glad we have them

I would never want to be in their position,,,YET

it is unfortunate that there are some who are so wantonly dangerous and power hungry who slip through the cracks and abuse their authority/responsibility

Honestly, that is very rare(but it does happen).

Someone was unjustly killed and you chose the roll eyes emoticon.

There was a time when I respected the law....stories like this happen EVERYDAY! There was a time when we would hear stories about the good cops, helping, doing good things, never hear those anymore.

I respect them as much as they respect those they are SUPPOSED to protect.

He died because he had a reaction to the Taser and the rolling of the eyes was to the OP.

So one cop does something bad and suddenly all of them are?

So since some liberals are self righteous douche bags all of them are?



Groovy!

I love equation fallacies.

If it were only ONE cop and ONE incident people wouldn't be so pissed off...it's becoming an everyday occurrence.

Can't help but wonder if this were an affluent white guy if more would be pissed about it.

I just hope you don't need one soon!
Your attitude toward them might become apparent while they are helping you!

I dont agree with the guy being tased, but it's not completely the cops fault. He didn't know the guy was deaf and any prior medical conditions. $hit happens.

I bet if it was your dad or brother or uncle you would apply a differant standerd.

Hope that next time you need a Cop,you'll call him by that name!

I have a family full of cops...i don't like them either.
