Naked crazy guy + Angry Cop = Dead crazy guy
Not that complicated

Pork chops slathered in apple sauce, yes.
People are making light (no pun) of the fact that man was armed. The chemical inside of said bulb is toxic. I still do not get any straight answers out of anyone, except two people, that they should have waited the idiot out. Fine that was what I was originally asking for. Exposure to something that can be avoided is a good thing, no? My whole point is that glass when broken, is a deadly weapon, compound it with the fact that there is a toxic substance inside of it.
Mikahyl: I could care care less how trained an officer is, picture a landing as I described and try to get all 4 officers to surround said person, wrestle someone down who is naked and sweaty , put cuffs on them and no one fall off the fire escape. Hollywood yes, real life probably not. BTW, we train in control techniques on flat ground, you cannot simulate all adverse conditions. And you'll be glad to know we are getting standard issue comfy pillows to defend ourselves in place of the tasers, next week.
I never said once that I thought the officer's actions were justified. The department, along with the states attorney office will conduct an investigation. If it leads to a criminal indictment and conviction then I will say how I really feel about what happened because all of the facts will come to light. A preliminary judgement of guilt is being leveled upon the affected officers before there ever was an investigation into their actions. Over here there is a presumption of innocent until proven guilty unless you happen to be the police.
