Sigh...

Sorry, the site I'm on that provided the story didn't post a link and I didn't want to give them away.

Here's one I found.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/01/22/...ispute/?hpt=T2

The title was descriptive of my reaction, but not very descriptive in general I suppose. I apologize for that, but being a long term member of the backroom I've seen far worse.

"My son tried to run thinking his life was in jeopardy," Terez Miles said. "He made three steps before he slipped and fell." After that, she said, the police used a stun gun and beat him, pulling out a chunk of his hair.

It sounds bad to me. If I were to hear such in my county I'd not wonder why they ran. But hear running is never less dangerous than not running, and if I ever caught someone I thought was innocent I'd say as much on the witness stand, and to hell with the effect on my job. If that isn't true elsewhere it's sad, if it is then the situation is also sad.

How about providing a link to the news post? Lack of background information does not really make a good discussion starter (neither does the thread title you chose).
