Dustin Glover's family says he was unconscious when deputies signed his name to a personal recognizance bond releasing him from custody, and he died before his release was approved. Glover's story begins April 3 at the Louis Manor Apartments on Joe Louis Avenue. A police report says officers were flagged down about a disturbance. The police report gives the official account of how things started: [INDENT][I]"Officers located the suspect fighting with the complainant in a common area of the apartment complex. Officers intervened and separated the suspect from the victim. Officers could immediately smell the strong odor of "PCP" emitting from the suspect. The suspect appeared spaced out and confused and was foaming from the mouth. Officers determined that the suspect was intoxicated and posed a danger to himself and others. As officers attempted to place the suspect under arrest, the suspect began fighting the officers causing serious bodily injury to one of the officers." [/I] [/INDENT] Officers say the woman who flagged police down accused Glover of taking her money. The officers who first located Glover are Patrick Britton and Hebert Otis. They say Glover fought back as they were trying to arrest him and officer Otis was injured in the scuffle. But attorneys for the family tell a different story, saying the mentally-challenged father of three died from internal injuries he received at the hands of at least three Port Arthur Police Officers. One of those officers in question is the same one arrested on a charge of family violence over the weekend. [/QUOTE] [url]http://www.12newsnow.com/story/26251863/family-seeks-answers-after-police-release-unconscious-man-who-died-moments-later[/url] My favourite part is when they try to keep an investigation from happening.
While most police are decent people it's these guys who are just ugh Also is it just me or do news websites go through kind of cycles, where they talk about police doing bad things for awhile to clickbait, and then begin reporting police doing great things to clickbait? Seems like every few months to a year it kind of rotates.
Apparently he attacked the officers whilst they tried to arrest him.
[quote]the mentally-challenged father of three died[/quote] So he's retarded enough to where cops are monsters for following standard arrest procedure for a resisting suspect or person of interest, but is somehow a competent father? This makes no sense. [url=http://www.12newsnow.com/link/708525/offense-report]Here's the actual police filed offense report about the entire altercation[/url] The officer apparently was able to smell PCP on the suspect, so a toxicology report will state the truth in the matter for this. Suspect was "Spaced out, foaming from the mouth" The cop also fired a taser at the suspect with no effect. Guess we should let a mentally challenged angry person run around an apartment complex and do whatever he wants and not detain him then! Also let's not skip the fact that once the suspect went to the hospital, he refused to stay seated when being attended by medical staff, then proceeded to growl at the officer and bite part of the officers pants off like he was a wild animal. So let's timeline this, parent of 3, mentally handicapped, high on PCP and decides to resist cops attempting to detain him after receiving reports of him taking money from someone and getting into an altercation with another. The taser they used had no effect on him so they had to do it the old fashioned way. I don't buy the lawyers pity argument on him being a father or mentally handicapped, it doesn't exclude the man from his actions and now sadly he and the rest of his family are paying for it. I feel sorry for the kids more than anyone else in all of this.
I don't see what's wrong here...
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;45664027]mentally handicapped... doesn't exclude the man from his actions[/QUOTE] By legal definition it sort of does.
pcp has a distinguished smell?
[QUOTE=joe588;45666347]pcp has a distinguished smell?[/QUOTE] similar to plastic or rubber when burned, IIRC.
