Officers Terminated After Taser Incident Involving 92-Year-Old Amputee
A 92-year-old man, described as an amputee living with dementia, was involved in a confrontation with police while holding a butter knife. Following the incident, in which the man was tasered, he was hospitalized and subsequently passed away. Reports indicate that the officers involved in the encounter have been dismissed from their positions. The situation has drawn significant public attention and scrutiny regarding the use of force against vulnerable individuals.
The fact is that American cops are, to put it mildly, cowards: yesterday, in Pennsylvania, they waited for that madman to stop shooting before intervening—and then counted the bodies of those who had been killed while they took cover. They did the same thing at a school a few yea
It's funny how everyone automatically assumed it's the USA police. Using brutal force because they got scared by a butter knife holding 90 year old fragile man? Ah, just be the good old little US policemen snowflakes.
What police was waiting outside like cowards while school shooting was ongoing? So they suddenly become a man against a 92 old crippled man.
how about going to jail??
I live in an absolute shithole and even here, two policemen would've probably just walked up to him, grabbed his arm and removed the knife. Probably even apologize for being a little rough after the fact. What is wrong with you, USA?
So murdering someone means you lose your job? Great!
After he died? I saw the video, they should have been fired and arrested immediately!
They should be charged with at least manslaughter. Send them to prison for 5 years and term them lose with a felony record so they can never touch a gun again. Oh and no pension is a Must.
1. Losing their jobs is not a proper punishment. Policemen should adhere to higher standards than citizens, their punishment should be harsher, not easier. 2. The fired cops may be hired by another police department in a few months. There are lots of cases like that.
