While this definately appears to be a case where the police definately went over the line and need to be held accountable i also think that you shouldn't have hidden certain facts as you accuse the police of doing.

It should be noted that after being tasered(also excessive force used IMO) the guy in question still managed to break free from the 2 cops trying to handcuff him and had climbed up on top of the squad car at the time he was shot. I would suggest that would be indicitive of something quite different from a catatonic state as you suggest.

While i completely agree that the 2 officers should be fired and probably tried criminally themselves, I also believe that certain facts shouldn't be omitted to make your case stronger.

edit, none of those videos are representative of the cops statement. Everyone of them has been edited to alter context.
