This is just riveting stuff. RIP, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss Otis. I will do my best to spread the word as much as I can.

He fought the police. The police don't get paid to take punches and don't get paid to lose.

That piece of sh!t died from his own foolish pride and the world is a better place because of it.

Thank God for those cops. They went home safe and sound to work another day.

Well there's two sides of the coin here. Otis was stating that the cops asked his uncle to come out of his house. The uncle refused, and wanted the cops to come in. Finally when he did come out, the cops purportedly were beating on him for no reason, and the uncle was just trying to defend himself. How do you justify his being shot in the back at close range while he was being restrained? Somethings afoul in this whole mess. Police are there to enforce the PEOPLE'S law....and NOT their OWN. Not ALL cops have good intentions. Some BAD ones always manage to somehow, slip through the cracks in the system.

There are TWO sides to every story, as you say.

It's improbable that the cops would just throw their livelyhoods away, their freedom away, their entire way of life away just to kill a scum-sucking, bottom feeder loser like Otis.

If only more people knew what the job (police) was like they'd understand.

One of my good friends is a cop, had a gun pulled on him during a simple speeding ticket....

My Uncle Was Murdered by the Illinois State Police.

Many years ago my Dad and I were on the NJ turnpike in the rest area across from Newark airport. I am a white teenager and at that time started to talk to an Afro American 18 wheel truck driver. In the discussion he noted that his brother-in-law was also an 18 wheel truck driver and was stopped by the Pennsylvania State Police. He was told to Follow the State Trooper to the Police barn. When he ask why was he being Stopped, the Pennsylvania State Police officer said 'I will think of something by the time I get there.

Is it fair to say, there are far too many Out-Of-Control Out-Of-balance Police Officer's?

A badge should not be a Right to Murder?

White a Disgrace. The Blue Wall Of 'S---' lives on...

I am sure there are times that being a police officer is stressful, but they are trained and PAID to do a job. It isnt like they are doing any single act as a "Hero". I in my 45 years have NEVER had any single interaction with any police officer that was of any benefit to my life. But I most certainly have been wronged by them several times.

There was an inmate in Cook co. Jail that spat on a female guard, and was beaten to death by 2 other guards. Not hurt, not scolded, not punched. Beaten 2 DEATH. They initially were given 3 months off work, but when the media caught wind, they were fired.

2 men who beat another man who was wearing handcuffs to death, it makes me sick to think people call them hero's.

They are bullies who love to push people around.

My landlady in Chicago's son was a cop, and she will be the first to tell you the reason why he wanted to be a cop, is so he could beat people up.

OMG! I just had a customer who refused to pay for his graphics, and I had to call the police to get the customer to leave. They were professional, calm and cool. I just made 2 new friends. I can't believe it.

We need to find out what the other side of the story is. If Otis is telling the basic truth then those cops should be tried. If the truth is something different then maybe the officers had a legitimate reason. Need more evidence.
