[QUOTE="keista, post: 449893, member: 11965"] Cops have a tremendously difficult job. They put their lives on the line EVERY day. If this was a one or two cops vs schizophrenic man I thing the right or wrong could be under debate, but six? The cops seem to have been WAY out of line, however, cause of death has not yet been determined. Since he was homeless, he was probably malnourished and not in the best of physical health. "Reasonable force" on a normal healthy man could kill an unhealthy man. My decision of taking the settlement or not would greatly depend on the results of the investigation into actual cause of death, and the officers' previous records. If they are chronic "bully cops", they would need to be desked permanently or let go. As a parent, I would certainly be devastated by the loss of my child, especially under such circumstances, but I can also imagine myself feeling much relief. Relief that my child no longer had to suffer the earthly confines of his tremendously flawed mind. in my opinion that is a very generous settlement for this situation. [/QUOTE]
