Florida Cops Cleared in Taser Death of Xavier Jones


Villagers may recall the story of a Blackman being killed by taser-wielding cops in Florida.

Saying officers were legally justified in using deadly force, Miami-Dade prosecutors have cleared four (4) Coral Gables officers, for the January 2008 death of Xavier Jones, 29, who succumbed to 'excited delirium syndrome' associated with cocaine use.

Davis had been drinking and drugging with pals at the University Inn Apartments before he went berserk, ran out and laid down in traffic, crying that 'God was going to take' him.

To subdue him, two officers deployed their Taser stun guns. While handcuffed in the back of a patrol car, Davis cursed one final time, passed out, and died.

"The actions of the police officers in this case did nothing to contribute to the death of the decedent," said Miami-Dade prosecutors.
Villagers, I'm still amazed that the prosecutors and others don't understand that the penalty for drinking and drugging in America is not death. When will these extra-judicial electrocutions be stopped?

Drumbeats from Vanessa Unplugged and Tasered While Black blogs inform us that another Black citizen has been killed by police using taser gun. Since when does disorderly conduct behavior at a Friday night party warrant the death penalty from police officers that decide to be judge, jury and executioner? Take a moment to check out the video reports here and here then let me know what you think.
