If them Police in America had turned a blind eye to the drink/drug driver asleep at the wheel, and he wiped out 5 innocent pedestrians (of any race)on his drive home , I doubt very much it would make news in the UK
My take on it ....
don't break the law ,
if you break the law ,expect to be arrested and thrown i a cell
expect to appear in court and be jailed or fined
if you resist arrest and run off ,expect to be tasered or shot
that applies what ever race,religion or sexuality you decide you are
the world has gone soft ,rules are there for a reason
Drunk in charge, and he was asleep, and parked. In a parking space.
Resisting and then grabbing a taser turned a misdemeanor into death.
It takes me a while to wake up properly, so I sympathise with the disorientation that may have made the bloke react poorly, but they gave him the opportunity to walk home. He declined and started being an arse... Escalation was inevitable.
