Wow, I am WAY too tired to respond to what was said above. Whew! The Never-Ending Argument.
But I WILL say this Doc - no offense to cops who are, like you said, trying to do the right thing and working their asses off in a tough job. Again, a New Yorker beholden to cops on 9/11 (and many other days). So I DO see both sides. But what we're discussing, I think, is that percentage of cops who just do what we saw in the vid. Darts, rubber bullets, pepper spray, a fucking NET for Jesus sake would've worked. they had HOURS.
This isn't a split-second "is that a gun or a keychain" type situation, which can be forgivien under certain circumstances. No, HOURS went by and the cops finally just said "fuck it" and killed the dude. Did they intend to? Why not tazer him HOURS before, before he got to the ledge?
Again, no way to defend THESE COPS. Not ALL cops - THESE cops. Bad, bad coppies, BAD coppies!
