I've been thinking more on this Ohio case where the guy got pummeled by 6 cops. They obviously knew the guy was strung out on PCP. He was exhibiting all the classic signs of it. They knew he was severly obese and would therefore have health problems. They knew violently trying to pound him into submission would send his body into total stress which could and did trigger his heart attack that he died of as a result.
Maybe its time to require Police in situations like this to show some restraint when arresting strung out people. Like they do now when pursuits become way too risky to continue.
The guy obviously couldn't go anywhere with 6 police there. Why the need to fuck the guy up that much?
Yeh, I know you fuck with the cops and that's what happens. I've said that myself. But now, I really think its time to rethink these types of arrest situations where clearly taking the arrest into intense violence with a wolf pack approach and 6 clubs swinging wildly only risks the cop's lives more as well as the drugged out person's.
I don't think anyone can justify someone's death at the hands of police during an arrest unless they are shooting at the cops.

Are you saying people strung out on PCP who attack cops have no responsibility for what happens to them?
Police brutality is when they tell someone to get on the ground, the person gets on the ground without offering any resistance and is then beaten.
People on drugs who attack cops deserve what they get.
