Something happened during the walk.
Police say that Spruill became combative and started throwing things from his pockets at them, so they told him they were putting him under arrest for disorderly conduct.
Something happened during the arrest.
One would think that the taser had something to do with his death. But, that is not what the medical examiner is saying. The medical examiner claims that Spruill died of a cocaine overdose. A torn plastic bag was found in his esophagus, and tests showed a lethal amount of cocaine in his system. [SOURCE]
The two officers are back on the job. Joe Spruill is dead. The 'powers-that-be' are comfortable that life is good. Me? I think that a man shouldn't be killed in his front yard for resisting arrest. Spruill should have been given medical attention ... not a lethal dose of taser juice.
What say u?

I say that this "family man" shouldn't have ingested a lethal dose of cocaine that he clearly didn't want the cops to find.
Further, I say that fighting with armed officers is a rather stupid activity.
I say that the combination of high dosages of mood altering drugs isn't particularly smart, and that by mixing drugs with fighting with cops, we shouldn't be surprised by the use of a Taser.
I say that Sprill should have used better judgement. Too bad his stupidity and his criminal life lead to his death. He didn't do his family any favors.
THIS IS A REPLY TO THE STUPID AS COMMENT GUNFIGHTER AKA POLICE WROTE.JOE SPRUIIL WAS MY FAMILY.I THINK YOU LEAVING THIS COMMENT WAS BOTH IGNORANT AND INCONSIDERATE OF HIS KIDS AND HIS WIFE AND ALL THE OTHER FAMILY THAT LOVED HIM DEARLY.THIS MAY BE JUST A STORY TO YOU BUT THIS IS STILL FREASH IN OUR HEARTS AND OUR MINDS. I THINK IF YOU WERE NOT THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND KNOW ALL OF WHAT HAPPENED YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR LITTLE AND UNIMPORTANT COMMENTS TO YOURSELF.FOR THE 2 SECOUNDS IT TOOK YOU TO PUT YOUR 2 CENTS ON THIS PAGE YOU SHOULD BEEN DOING SOMETHING MORE CONSTRUCTIVE WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE.
Gunfighter - He would not have died that night if the police did not electrocute him with at least 50,000 volts of electricity.
Is being a drug-user a bad idea? Yes.
Is resisting arress a bad idea? Yes.
However, neither of those bad ideas should result in your life being ended by taser-happy police officers.
tldap - My prayers go out to you and your family. Has there been any new information or developments on the case?

Eddie - Our prayers go out to you and your family as you continue to cope with the loss of your cousin. The real deal is that we have to do a much better job of making sure that our peeps don't do things that put them in the crossfire of the police in the first place ... don't you agree?
