“A police officer killed an elderly, deaf and mentally disabled man riding his bicycle by shooting him with a Taser stun gun after he failed to obey instructions to stop.

Roger Anthony, 61, was killed as he made his way home in Scotland Neck, South Carolina, after officers responded to a 911 call about a man who had fallen off his bicycle in a car park.

The caller told dispatchers that the man appeared drunk and that it looked like he had hurt himself.

Officers said they repeatedly told Mr Anthony to get off his bike, but when he didn’t respond, they shocked him. 

The state Office of the Medical Examiner hasn’t yet determined a cause of death.

Family members claim Mr Anthony had hearing problems and suffered from seizures. Now they’re considering whether to file a lawsuit against the town. 

His brother Michael said: ‘What did they tase him for? It’s hurting me. It’s really hurting me.’”

I knew even before I clicked the link that Roger Anthony was a black man.

Fuck the police.

As soon as I saw that they’d been called to help him & wound up killing him I knew the deal.
