Later on, I believe I heard on TV news that the coroner's office ruled it a homicide but that doesn't mean the officers were guilty of police brutality or something like that. Sorry I don't have the source but pretty sure of what I listened to on the news.
I saw some of that video too. The one on most of the news I guess and it looked to me that the Jones started the fight. Maybe they went too far is really the question IMO. Should they have used the Taser? I don't know but if that is a policy then maybe they should have instead of resorting to fisticuffs.
All in all, I really don't what to judge because I am not a police officer. They do have it tough YET IMO every police officer should go thru required periodical sensitivity training letting them know what to do and not to do in any situation. Also, if a police officer has a history to be involved in deaths when trying to apprehend a suspect, then he/she needs to be re-evaluated to determine if they should be transfered to a less contact oriented position.
