Give me a break! The guy is on videotape fighting with two cops, and I will bet big bucks that he was either diabetic, or high. Either condition can make anyone violent. It is too bad the guy died, but when a persons physical condition (or lack thereof) possibly combined with drug usage turns them into a problem, the cops get called to deal with it. If they have to use force to arrest the guy, so be it. I despise the people who stage the public outcry against police brutality in these situations. Barring other evidence that the cops acted improperly, they should be cleared, and the morons crying foul should shut the .... up.

Sorry about the rant. This is a sore subject with me. I am a little bit biased!
