To bad that the news media does not show the true reason that this thug died.
Acute cocaine poisoning is why he died, not by anything that the police did! Why do these racist groups try to paint this as racism? They always try to blame someone else when it is the fault of the criminal no matter what country or nationality he is or from. If I was the cop, I would have shot him when he started kicking me.

I have seen this more than once in the news. Police, fire, paramedics and even the Samaritan cannot be blamed when someone's death is the result of their own behavior or habits.

It is obvious that Mr. Saenz was out of control on the night he died. His loss of control was due to his own drug consumption.

His death is a tragedy. The police officers who were dealing Mr. Saenz' loss of control should not be held accountable for the tragic outcome.

My sympathy goes out to the family of Mr Saenz AND to the officers who could not save him.
