i can't say much either.
if the young man was waving a gun around, then unfortunately, the pigs could shoot him.
and that's why we need to stop guns: BECAUSE ONE DAY YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER WILL OWN A GUN.

Disturbing! Police Beat, Tase Homeless Man To Death On Video
The father of an Orange County man who died after a scuffle with Fullerton Police is venting his rage. The 37-year-old man died Sunday from injuries suffered in an altercation last week.
Ron Thomas, father of deceased man Kelly Thomas, passed out flyers Monday seeking answers near the scene where a run-in with police left Kelly Thomas brain-damaged. Kelly, 37, was removed from life support Sunday.
"The only thing we have left of our son is the blood in the gutter, that's all we have left," said Ron Thomas.
Police say officers approached Kelly Thomas last Tuesday night after receiving reports that someone was breaking into cars near the bus depot in Fullerton. Police allege Thomas resisted arrest for several minutes.
Mark Turgeon saw it differently. He says he was only 20 feet away.
"They kept beating him and Tasering him. I could hear zapping, and he wasn't even moving," said Turgeon. "He had one arm in front of him like this, he wasn't resisting. And they kept telling him, 'He's resisting, quit resisting,' and he wasn't resisting."
Police say they won't talk about what force was used since it's under investigation, but they say at least six officers were involved and two officers suffered broken bones in the fight.
"During the course of that, taking Mr. Thomas into custody, that's when he suffered his injuries, because he wasn't complying with the officers' orders and directions," said Fullerton Police Sgt. Andrew Goodrich.
Thomas's father, Ron, is a former Orange County Sheriff's deputy. He alleges that Fullerton police used excessive force.
"With six officers on him, that could average with all their equipment to 1,500 pounds of trained men against a 165-pound unarmed homeless man," said Ron Thomas.
"His eyes were swollen shut, his nose was broken, and I just couldn't imagine what happened to him," said Kelly's sister, Tina Kinser.
Thomas's sister and parents put up flyers hoping to find witnesses. They admit Thomas was homeless and had a history of mental illnesses. But they say he was not a violent person.
The owner of nearby Santa Fe Express Café agrees. Kelly Thomas visited her business daily.
"Everyone knew him, that he had some problems but he was a harmless soul," said Salma Bushala, owner of the café.
"We just want the truth and we want justice for Kelly," said Tina Kinser.
Officials say an autopsy was performed Monday, but results were still pending. The investigation was ongoing.

Post subject: Ottawa Cellblock Video Of Alleged Abuse Released

Cellblock video of the arrest of an Ottawa woman who is suing police over alleged mistreatment shows four members of the police force entering her cell, but reveals little of what happened in the cell.
Roxanne Carr was arrested and charged with obstructing police and damaging property in 2008, but prosecutors withdrew the charges in April this year after viewing video of her treatment in the cellblock.
The video of six police bringing Carr into the station shows four men and two women forcing Carr to lie face down as they bind her arms before removing her handcuffs, while Carr makes little effort to move. Carr is then dragged to her feet and directed to her cell.
A minute later, the officers rush back and four enter her cell. What happens in the cell is not visible, but it appears Carr's clothing is taken out before the police leave. The incident at her cell lasts about 90 seconds.
An hour and ten minutes later, one of the officers returns and deposits clothing into the cell.
Carr has alleged that officers broke her arm and wrist, banged her head against the floor and left her naked in a cell. She is suing police for $975,000.
In video footage of Carr the next day, Carr does not appear to be showing any injury related to the incident until she tries to open a door with her right arm. She flinches back and then opens the door with her left arm.
A number of media outlets, including the CBC, fought in court to have the video released and a judge agreed, ordering its release last week. But court officials discovered the video was missing. So police provided a duplicate version to the court Thursday.
Carr's lawyer Lawrence Greenspon said the video footage is a critical piece of evidence in the civil case.
"My reaction was that Roxanne Carr, when you look at this video, was treated like an animal, hog-tied and led on a leash. It was completely dehumanizing. It was sad to see that," Greenspon said.
Parallels to Bonds case
The case has parallels to the case of Stacy Bonds, who was arrested, kneed several times, pinned to the floor and had her clothes cut off by Ottawa police in 2008.
The cellblock videos from that incident and from the arrest of Ottawa man Terry Delay were released to the public last November, prompting investigations into six cellblock incidents, including Carr's detention.
Bonds is also suing police.
Greenspon said the two cases are similar.
"Stacy Bonds and Roxanne Carr are not just two extraordinary examples. They are individuals who have come to the public's attention as an indication of a systemic problem within the police in this city," Greenspon said.
The province's Special Investigations Unit and the Ontario Provincial Police reviewed the tapes in both cases. The SIU laid charges against one officer — Sgt. Steven Desjourdy — in the Stacy Bonds incident and none in Carr's case. The OPP did not lay charges in either case.
Desjourdy and Melanie Morris, a special constable who could be seen kicking Delay as he was pushed into his cell, were two of the officers involved in Carr's and Bonds's detentions. Both Desjourdy and Morris were removed from cellblock duty following the release of the Bonds video last year.
Ottawa police acting chief Gilles Larochelle said in a written statement that he believed the video of the Carr incident would vindicate the four police named in her statement of claim.
"I am satisfied that cellblock officers handled the custody of Roxanne Carr with the utmost professionalism, especially when faced with a crisis in the cell," he wrote.
Doug Baum, the head of the Defence Counsel Association of Ottawa, said how police perceive their actions is not always reflected in public opinion, noting that police saw nothing wrong in the Bonds case either.
"The public has its own suspicions as to what's going on," Baum said. "And the public wants a full airing of this issue."
