Cops Shoot & Kill Naked Man In Florida

Another good PIG story for today.

Be careful, your mouth can be considered a deadly weapon. Obviously the porker had no other option but to shoot him dead.

Funniest line in the article..."it wasn't immediately clear whether he died from gunshot wounds or from a medical condition" Yeah.....must have been a medical condition, not the bullets shot through his body.

The naked man was a BIG naked man, he sent a police officer to the hospital, attacked a man and a ten year old child, ate an 18 year old's face, and was not stopped by tasers.

Police make bad decisions all the time, but I am not convinced this was one of those times.

The cops did their job properly. They attempted to subdue him with tasers, which failed, so they resorted to lethal force once other options were exhausted.

As another poster stated, READ THE STORY. This man attacked multiple people, including a father and his child, putting at least two in the hospital. He BIT OFF PART OF A TEENAGER'S FACE!

Sounds similar to other attacks attributed to bath salts.

them on the face

and then decided to charge at the police when confronted, and after shot with a stun gun.

Yet you make it sound like he was shot because he was naked.

Good Lord. Police were justified in their action.

on edit - your reference to a "pig story" is offensive and unnecessary.
