Police have it so rough. They'll be blamed for this mans over weight health issues. The obese mans family will sue for his death, no doubt. when will people (Of all sizes and shapes) learn that if you do anything agressive towards the police, they'll take you down! sheesh, are people REALLY that stupid? I guess they are.
My Kudos are ALWAYS with the police dept.

Who was the composer of this waste of space? Apparently he/she was not proud of their work. The guy dies eleven hours after being Tased? I doubt the Taser had anything to do with it.

So I sez to him, I sez, Lancaster Rodeo! Breaking news, the COW died. His heart could take the thought of other convicts bull riding or flogging the hog. If I was the Deputy at the scene, screw tasering, clear out the clip, no way of missing.

Well this should just let all whom are contemplating moving to Lancaster/Palmdale; you cannot be morbidly obese, you cannot own a pit bull dog (per Lancaster mayor you are considered a gangbanger), do not plan to go out at night because they roll-up the sidewalks at night, if you are already poor and down and out then you will be hassled, and be ready to feel like you live in Mayberry.
I have lived here for 20 years, and this place has gone downhill in a New York minute. The sheriff out here our notorious for being racist, and trigger happy.
All in all if you want to never be able to sit out on your front lawn (for fear of a drive-by), and if you want your children to fail in school, plus if you are already depressed, this is not the place to relocate.
A fed up Lancaster resident wrote this because of all the misconduct by sheriff that I have witnessed.

Tasers can cause people to have heart attacks depending on the voltage of the stun gun/taser. This guy possibly died after his heart started beating rapidly from being in fear of his life. This on top of him being morbidly obese...

Right-on! The sheriff takes too long to respond out here. If you call to report shooting, they show up 1 hour later because they do not want to get shot. I know because there was a shooting on our block and the sheriff took way too long to arrive. There was blood all over the sidewalk in front of the house where shooting happened, but everyone got a chance to leave.
Now you can't own a pit bull or else you are tagged as a gangbanger (this is per the Lancaster mayor), this town drove out the Wicca religion (their freedom of religion was violated), there are so many churches out here yet they do not take care of the poor (whazup with that).
So now if you are morbidly obese stay away from Lancaster.
Strange that the color/race of the tasered man is not revealed.

I disagree because they take too long to respond, and are getting paid well.
If they (sheriff's) break the law like taking a life they deserve to be punished.
Obviously a morbidly obese person is not a threat yet he/she were tasered. Unfortunately, we have sheriff's out here that are scared, but not scared when they go cash their paycheck.
I have been disrespected by the sheriff just because they felt like being rude.
How can you defend sheriff's that are not doing their job properly?

You would never make it as a comic dude so give it up. Respect the dead.
You may be the next tasered knuckle-head.

The police do not have it rough and that's the truth. Also, they are scared to death so they resort to using deadly force, and this is true. Plus have you ever been out here to Lancaster? Well you will observe a lot of fat cops out here. Neighborhood watches work better than the police because that is the way it is out here. The sheriff are not what they are supposed to be and that is shameful considering the salary that is paid to them.
Why give kudos to a sheriff? Put them on a diet and have them weigh in each day prior to clocking in to work.
Sadly, you must be a sheriff, and I do feel sorry for you because I bet that is the only job you and your sheriff buddies could ever get.
