punisher5112 wrote: » Do you actually read what you write? He was asleep, passed out, eyes closed, not reacting to voice or bangs on the window, door opened and he eventually comes around. It could have been all show, but most likely he was asleep as the queue looked long and probably slow too.

Because they are a responsible well trained police force.The lack of basic humanity from some posters is quite worrying. A young man is dead and he doesn't need to be. It is not anti police to look for better training, and better policies about guns, to try to prevent this sort of thing. This auld sh*the about the young man getting what he deserved is repulsive.

NotMOL wrote: » They were called because he was originally 'parked' in front of the drive thru and blocking all the cars. He moved it to the parking spot after the police arrived.He was likely trying to drive home drunk and then passed out drunk in front of the drive thru, why on earth would the police give someone a warning for driving drunk. So let's say the Guards catch someone driving home drunk in Dublin tonight do you think they should let him go with just a warning?
sdanseo wrote: » As established already, tasers are not non-lethal. They are less-lethal (distinct from less-than lethal, also wrong). They are less lethal than a firearm but still potentially lethal. It's about what could happen if the cops were incapacitated. They have a responsibility to prevent any situation where their firearms could be taken from them.

Lets say when he was moving the car he decided, **** it I will make a run for it and sped of knocking over someone. Who's fault would it have been? Surely if he is posing a danger you dont let him drive at all? Agreed He was dropped of at the drive thru by his sister after enjoying the day at his nieces birthday. Why on earth would the police allow someone they suspected of being drink continue to drive even if it was to just park his car. What id like I said above he decided to do a runner?

NotMOL wrote: » Is that not common police practice to tell someone to pull into the side away from danger? Also at that stage they didn't know if he was drunk or not because they had not yet performed the breathalyzer test and in the video he was not sluing his speech so I don't think the cops thought he was locked out of his mind
