I am glad the cop used a taser instead of a gun so Donnell Williams is alive today.

Kevin Lazare is dead with three bullets in his back. Suppose I went on a protest for Kevin Lazare, are you going to say that I am using a "Deaf" card? Or are you saying that I am complaining about police brutality? It is obvious to me that the cop didn't killed Kevin in self-defense or there would be bullets in Kevin's chest instead of his back.

Now you see that Al Sharpton is complaining (in the protest) about police brutality toward black people. Tell me how it is self-defense for one of the cops to shoot 31 bullets into those men? That is an overkill like Banjo said. Cops are supposed to be level-headed but those cops in Sean Bell's shooting don't sound like they are level-headed.
