Police tased and then fatally shot a naked man after a confrontation on a Virginia highway earlier this month.

~ snip ~

The footage shows police approaching a car that had been driven off a highway, with an officer ordering the driver to stay in the car.

~ snip ~

Moments later, the naked driver, later identified as Marcus-David Peters, runs out of the car towards the highway. He was struck by a car and begins rolling around the highway.

~ snip ~

The approaching officer is seen holding a yellow taser. Peters gets up from the ground and starts walking towards the officer. He is heard saying "back the f--- up... put the taser down or I'll kill you."

1. I have to withold judgement on this one unless there is further video. Weird case.

Do police over react towards blacks....often times certainly. Was this one of them..I can't tell. Looks more like psychosis or PCP or.....?
Would have been nice if the officer just had a really big net.

4. flakka.

Much much worse than PCP. Raises your body temperature, so you take off clothes. Gives you unbelievable stamina and power.
Plus makes you very aggressive. Takes 10 cops to hold you down.
for some reason a lot of people on it growl and snarl, and tend to eat people they attack.

Seriously.

Was reading in VICE this week how it has been spreading to other states from Fla.

I saw an average build guy throw 6 cops off him, and later pick up and throw a hospital bed. Dr. had only given him the "normal" shot of Haldol when the cops brought him to the unit. Took 2 more shots to calm him down, the cops were trying to hold him so the nurse could sneak in the shot.
That guy was on PCP.

I am pretty sure a lot of police by now have heard of flakka, and they can get an easy view of it just on Youtube...just type in flakka. spooky stuff.

2. Where was his "gun" hidden? Cops shoot because there is no downside. Never arrested or fired. nt

3. It's in the National Anthem: When in doubt, blow their brains out!

I've seen more humane treatment of escaped Lions.

5. Awful.........Awful beyond words...He needed help, not death...

Here is another take on this story from the Washington Post...Warning...this is very disturbing, especially if you play the video that comes with the story...
