re: Cops tase elderly man who said he can't get on the ground because he is disabled- He dies

I'm all for making sure cops don't abuse their power but you are straight wrong to be knighting for this dude. All the responding officers knew was that he wasn't complying, had admitting to firing a gun inside city limits even though there was no emergency, and was "armed and ready for anything".

Sizer was one of the neighbors who called police. He initially called to complain that he was upset his son had a license to carry a gun. In other call he admitted to shooting his gun. In one of the first calls he tells the operator, "there's no emergency, it's just that I'm fully armed and ready for anything."

Five hours of testimony and seven witnesses later, the Grand Jury ruled in favor of Cameron who used a taser on a man causing him to hit his head and later die. Cameron was called to Sizer’s residence March 6, 2015 responding to his and a neighbor’s 911 calls of gun shots fired.
