So tell us what this guy WAS doing in the middle of the intersection? If we keep letting Abramson manipulate Metro Employees in the media as his scapegoats we are just as guilty as Jerry. We all know that Jerry will never support a Metro Employee and what a weasel he is. We all know what a operational disaster he has made out of merger. Instead of whining about Jerry we need to hold the Metro Council Members to the flame because they are the ones we elect to watch Jerry and the boys.

Instead we let them shout rhetoric about how they support Police, Firefighters and Unions all the while they backstab as at every opportunity. Jerry will probably win the next election. We need to change the Metro Council to people who really support Metro Employees.

well obviously he was doing something that was disturbing and dangerous. If not why would the Police be called or flagged down. You make it sound as if LMPD is not telling everything. They told the media what took place that night.

I took the ride on the Taser and it hurt like hell but when it was over, it was over. The Taser is not a perfect tool, but it is a good one. The Police cannot wait to have a medical evaluation on the subject prior to using it. If the person is on drugs or has medical defects, ******** happens, but that is not the fault of the Officers.

Lets put the blame where it belongs:

a court system that failed to hold this man accountable for his criminal actions.

a family, who knew he was mentally ill, which failed to force him to get the help he needed.

a society that would rather blame those who are sworn to help instead of looking where the real problem is. WITH THE PERSON WHO FORCED THE SITUATION OR THE ACTION BY THEIR ACTIONS.
