Unarmed man with downs syndrome killed for refusing to leave a movie theater. It isn't as if they couldn't tell that the guy had issues from day 1.

wow. why wasn't he allowed to see the movie again in the first place?

edit: and what the f*ck is this?

Quote:Saylor’s parents said they were “extremely disappointed and saddened and concerned.”

it's not like their favorite sports team just lost the big game

Heartbreaking.

It's interesting that this isn't inciting riots. A truly harmless individual is killed with a physical and mental retardation and hardly a peep. A black drag on society is killed and suddenly we have outbursts of hopelessness that burn buildings to the ground.

Poor guy. Is this part true?

Because of his large size, the officers say they had to use three sets of handcuffs on him and placed him on his stomach for “one to two minutes”. When he showed signs of distress, officers said they administered CPR and other First Aid.



I also wonder if this is what we're going to see in every story that comes out now, which involves the police.

Once again, police and prosecutors have proven that when there is no weapon, they will grasp at any explanation to explain why it is the victim’s fault that they died from police brutality.



Sad story nonetheless.

What kind of attention would this ever get for the sourpuss squeaks out there?

How many more times does this have to happen before we realize that this isn't just a coincidence?

Yeah, there was at least some outrage in San Jose(?) when a homeless man was killed there.

I would be more sympathetic to riots over this than the scumbag Brown.

i wouldn't say he couldn't be harmless, but folks with that handicap can become violent to no fault of their own. i don't have any background or training in their situation, only a cousin with downs and it isn't exactly easy to reason with them. but his parents trusted him enough to go out alone. obviously the police weren't the right people to call

My cousin is Downs as well. He can get agitated but even at that he doesn't have the capacity to intentionally harm somebody.

That said, if we as taxpayers are paying for damn tazers and the cops want them so they don't have to wrestle folks why they constantly choose to wrestle them? That alone should form some of the requisite intent in my opinion.

This site says cops killed over 1000 people this year

word. they could have also sent a social worker or the guy's parents and let police do actual police work. what harm could there have been to letting the guy view a second screening? you have an unusual circumstance and your resolve is to forcibly remove a person with downs from a theater? like mlb said, he clearly had downs. perhaps kathryn bigelow (the movie's director) will take notice

That's the thing. The destruction of community and neighborhood hurts in ways people don't see right away.

If this was a neighborhood theater, the manager probably would have let the guy stay for 2-3 showings, and been happy to do it. Parents probably would have made it up by buying their son lots of overpriced popcorn.

Community is important. Leftists know it, and they constantly work to undermine it.

There's not a lot of information on the incident.

I went to Destin Beach with my ex once, she had a nephew with Downs. He had a crush on her and had to be held back from trying to attack me for being there with her lol. Those guys have no idea how strong they are either. Also, my grandma used to rent half of her house out, and rented it to an weird old woman with a son that had it. I went over there to visit my grandma and James had her pinned down in her chair threatening to kill her for no reason at all.

Dude, why? Why in everything must you look to find a right vs. left issue?

There was a mall cop in Georgia that lost his job for tazing a woman that kept pushing him while her kids called him gay. She had stolen something and wouldn't return it. So that tells me that no matter what a cop does, it's gonna be considered brutality. Because of the media, they have no way of keeping people in check anymore. The person has to be completely cooperative for there not to be controversy, granted, some times it IS brutality, but not all the time.

there's not, but with a person with downs, does there have to be? there should have been a light that came on with the police saying, "i'm not qualified for this situation. standard operation procedure doesn't apply."
