Mathew Ajibade and taser use

Mathew Ajibade died in jail. He was in a restraint chair in  isolation. How many times was this person tased? The fact that 9 police officers were fired over this states loudly that a problem existed. Only absolute clarity about the facts will prevent talk of a cover up. Please go to the following site and read the information  about tasers that came out in 2013 for law enforcement.

This incident underscores the need for mandatory law enforcement ongoing education. A bi-polar person in a manic phase needs immediate hospitalization for psychotropic medication and sedation. Then when they are in control with the correct medication, arrest them and take them to jail.  The excessive use of a taser resulted in his death according the following link. Watch the video. I read the information in the links following and watched news feeds before blogging
