He had been working hard to overcome a lot of obstacles in his life. He was helping his dad who is elderly. He came and picked up his last check and I felt so badly for him. I still see his name come thru on orders and it angers me hearing so many good things about him and knowing how his life ended. My heart goes out to his family!American Is Proudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317544355047493912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-38089797998502608632010-12-17T21:11:47.810-05:002010-12-17T21:11:47.810-05:00Gunfighter - I agree that it is never a good idea ...<b>Gunfighter</b> - I agree that it is never a good idea to disrespect or to resist arrest from law enforcement officials. However, I also don't think that it is right for taser-related deaths to occur on a weekly basis ... especially when so many of the dead are unarmed and non-violent offenders.<br /><br />That said ... I hope you have a fantastic Christmas holiday as well. I have the CD you send me last year in my rotation this holiday season! Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanzaa!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-80316922358027416612010-12-16T11:01:09.171-05:002010-12-16T11:01:09.171-05:00Wayne, I believe that there is so little outrage (...Wayne, I believe that there is so little outrage (generally speaking) because the ratio of Taser use to Taser-related deaths is so low. If the ratio were higher, it might prompt more concern.<br /><br />I still submit that were fewer peolpe to resist arrest, fewer Tasers would be deployed, which would have a real effect on the number of Taser-related deaths.<br /><br />Let me take this opportunity, in case we aren't in touch between now and then, to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!Gunfighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762432006297768871noreply@blogger.com
