Just when you thought it was safe to be a cop again...... http://news.yahoo.com/man-dies-ny-gym-fight-officers-used-tasers-205141182.html of course the family of this roid-raging maniac will sue the city and probably win although i did find this part funny -"Soon after arriving, Brothers fell off an elliptical machine, turned up the speed on another patron's treadmill and then punched him in the face."
And the money to settle with the family should come from the police pension/retirement fund....not from taxpayers.
They did use one. As messed up as he was, I'm not surprised it didn't work. All things considered, it sounds like they did the best they could at handling the crazy situation. As psychotic as his raging was, he was probably close to keeling over on his own.
