Police Subdue Man, Who Dies A 41-year-old Queens man died early yesterday morning after police officers and medical workers responded to a 911 call that he was emotionally disturbed and acting irrationally, the police said. The police said that they arrived at 104-36 204th Street in St. Albans, the home of the man, Patrick Ryan, after the 4:20 a.m. call, which came from his girlfriend. Seven officers sustained minor injuries trying to subdue Mr. Ryan, they said. He was strapped to a backboard and taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:13 a.m., the authorities said. The police said that they did not know the exact cause of death, and that the medical examiner would perform an autopsy. Family members and friends, however, said they believed that Mr. Ryan, who they described as legally blind, died at the hands of the police before he was taken to the hospital. Family members estimated that as many as eight or nine officers tackled Mr. Ryan, and they said the ambulance that took him away did not have its siren on. “The police killed my son, and I’m grieving,” said Justiana Reid, Mr. Ryan’s mother, who was downstairs in the house when the police arrived. Family members said that Mr. Ryan could see only shadows and received disability checks. They added that his girlfriend was eight months pregnant.

Why don't the throw a big net over someone like this?

For starters not St.Albans but Hollis. Either way my old neighborhood is now a sewer where no one who did not have to would go. I love what diversity has brought us.
I used to live in Jamaica Estates some 15 years ago. There's a big condo there, like one block from the subway station. It wasn't too bad at the time because the security was quite good.

My old neighborhood is almost the same, but there is an influx of spanish only speaking and Armenians. The Armenians are okay, but they don't think the rules of the road apply very often. They have learned English and use it and for that I give them kudos. Now if they would just decide that yard work is a nice weekend pasttime.

The only way Americans will ever be safe again is if we ban police.

Well... this is how the Bush/Cheney 1% rule applies to police raids. The cops use deadly force when the odds are 1% that their target has the intent and the ability to harm them.
