Man Dies From Marijuana!

[Skip]

A man running from the police died when he tried to swallow a bag of marijuana. The police officers tasered him and he started to choke on the bag. Police tried the Heimlich maneuver on him but it failed.

I'm sure this will be listed as death by marijuana...

Don't want to choke to death on a bag of marijuana while trying to escape from the police? Then LEGALIZE IT!

This is proof that the LAW is far more dangerous than Marijuana!

So for clarification purposes; he died from suffocation from the bag not what was in the bag. The size of it probably blocked his trachea or epiglottis (the piece of connective tissue that allows airflow and closes for food) restricting airflow to the lungs, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain which you will shortly and inevitably died from. Wow I guess this nursing school maybe paying off.

Way to use that taser only when you're life is threatened, officer.

"OMG he's swallowing that bag of weed, which we're hoping to prosecute him for only to protect him from himself, tase the fucker!"

He died from marijuana - no.

He died from suffocation - no.

He died from a taser - yes.

He died from an overzealous, aggressive LEO - yes.

He died from stupidity - yes.

He died from an unjust law - Absolutely!

And another case of unnessisary force. Sucks... my heart goes out to his family. What the hell was the guy thinking, sticking a plastic bag down his throat???

Dying with the weed in your mouth or digestive tract....that may just be considered the ULTIMATE BOGART move right there.

Going to jail!..this could of been a manuver he succesfully did once before..but what he wasnt expecting was being taserd..god i hate cops with a passion

 

[Norrath]

kinda a case of natural selection...but shame on those officers.

reminds me exactly of the robert dziekanski fiasco in 2007 at YVR in bc, interesting read/watch: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=robert+dziekanski&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=&oq=

both are sick and sad at teh same time.. no need for tazers in either.

 

[Minnesota Nice]

thats a really disgusting fingernail, bro

 

[CANNACO-OP]

what a crappy way to go

So if you don't want the law killing people with tazers --LEGALIZE IT!!

LOL (just kidding Skip! You've got me mentally adding that line to everything anyone says now...)

Edit: hmmm... in retrospect I don't think my intent with that feeble joke comes across very well... Move along, nothing to see here...

 

[pipeline]

Thats right! Plastic baggies are MORE DANGEROUS than cannabis!

Thats sad... Of course the officers are on administrative leave now... I bet it was a pretty intense thing to see, someone choking to death.....

Why do so many police insist on tasering? I saw a program, Steven Segal Lawman (I just had to check it out, it's funny as hell considering) and there was about 9 officers holding one guy down and they said taser him so they did and then they said we got em. If you had 9 guys on you wouldn't you be resisting a bit so you don't get killed or fear for being killed? These people are fucked in the head, it's just a torture device that has been shown time and time again to be a lethal weapon, I would rather be hit with a billy club in the head than a taser, at least I would stand a better chance to survive.
