http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/police-miami-officer-shoots-kills-naked-attacker-16438061
A Miami police officer on Saturday fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp, police and witnesses said.
The Miami Herald reports (http://hrld.us/KiMC2Y) that gunshots were heard at about 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, which is near the newspaper's offices. Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon a naked man mauling the other man. The newspaper quoted witnesses as saying that the officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he ignored the demand, the officer shot him. Witnesses said that the naked man continued his attack after being shot once, and the officer shot him several more times.
Police said the other man was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center. The newspaper said he had suffered critical injuries.
The police department confirmed in a news release that there was an officer-related shooting, but did not include many details provided by witnesses to the newspaper.
A police spokesman couldn't be reached for comment by The Associated Press on Saturday evening.
The police news release said the identities of the two men were not known.
A photograph posted on The Herald's website shows an officer standing watch on the ramp next to two police cruisers, with a body lying on a pedestrian walkway. Police requested the newspaper's video surveillance tapes.
The shooting and investigation tied up causeway traffic as crowds were arriving at South Beach for an annual hip-hop festival.
Javier Ortiz, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police in Miami, said that based on information he's received, the officer who fired the shots "is a hero and saved a life."
holy shit, THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS STARTING!!!!1

I saw that this morning. Just more evidence to support my theory that humanity is fucking horrible.
-edit: btw the Miami Herald story has more detail. Apparently the victim was also naked, and has lost most of his face. Last edit: 2012-05-28 01:33:58 |

| I don't normally bring this up but wouldn't zapping this dude be more effective? Getting shot is just a wound, but getting zapped by a stun gun will literally freeze your muscles. Wouldn't that have stopped the attack quicker? |

Tazers don't freeze muscles, what in the world would make you think that? I believe the actual effect of electrocuting a person would be they have involuntary movements throughout their body and a lot of pain. Tazers have been known to be ineffective against large men or people on drugs and most would assume a naked person eating another person's face would be on drugs. |

Umm, I'm pretty sure they do. And no, the size of the person does NOT lessen the effects of a taser. In fact, one taser can freeze at least 5 people at once (assuming they're touching). I watched a video where one person trained for like 10 years to try to resist the tasers, he managed to pull off the wires but not before collapsing on the floor first. Drug use has no effect on what tasers do, why in the world would drugs change how neurons fire electrical pulses? |

wrong. I have seen with my own eyes how a guy handles being shocked by a taser so well that he still has the ability to talk properly and carry on drinking his beer. In fact I was the one on th giving end of the taser. The only thing is really did was make his arm twitch a bit. He was not on drugs. Just badass.

The involuntary convulsions triggered by tasers essentially freeze you because you pretty much lose all control over your body after that current begins to run through you. Size or drugs wouldn't matter because, respectively, the voltage on those things is crazy and a big man doesn't really have much more resistance in his body, and the drugs you refer to are mostly those that impact the mind and would have no effect on your peripheral nervous system going crazy (you just lose control of your muscles, period) I assume :x

They don't actually freeze muscles but they do immobilize you, that's where I was going with it. I don't know where you heard that tazers are ineffective, but that is simply not true... A police strength tazer will put any grown man on his ass.

Actually, I believe you're wrong. From the sounds of it, the tazer you used was a really crappy or weak one... There's no way on Earth that a man can speak normally and drink a beer while getting zapped... |

Yeah okay, just making sure, because I'm pretty sure it'll be a cold day in hell before a human being is able to shrug off a full-on police taser -.- you just don't build resistance to electric current going straight through your body unless you're 100% paralyzed (nerves dead and everything) from the get-go or something...
I like your sig/quote's quote btw running away from an ass-whooping ftw :D |

"Sergeant Altarr Williams, supervisor of Miami police’s Homicide Unit, said a man doesn’t have to be armed to be dangerous.
“There are other ways to injure people,’’ Williams said. “Some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.’’"
hmmm....this is interesting. In hk, there are quite a lot of protocols before you could even use a gun, let alone shooting him dead |

I'm surprised they released those quotes... You aren't supposed to shoot unarmed people, so for him to come out and say it's ok to do just that is weird... |

The guy was EATING the face of another guy. On what planet does that make him not dangerous?
For god's sake we're talking about Miami, if cops started trying to non-violently contain people, Miami's police force would be decimated in about 10 minutes. It's a dangerous city, filled with freaks like this guy. Cop told him to stop, he didn't, kept EATING the other guy, so the cop shot him. The guy then proceeded to keep EATING the guy. On what planet is that not grounds for the use of deadly force? No reason at all to risk having cops get badly injured or risk allowing the victim to be hurt further so they can try to save this piece of crap.
Let's not have a redux of the cop shooting thread from General Forum. They did what they had to do to save the victims life, and gave the attacker plenty of times to surrender. |
