        @ABC As the mother of a child with Down's, I hate seeing the term "Down syndrome man." He is a man with Down syndrome.

        @StephDsays What real threat was he to the officers? Why the need for such brutal force?

        @ABC @SusanDJames the whole dispute was over a $12 ticket?! Ridiculous. I would have just given them the $ so they could leave the man alone

        @ABC @SusanDJames at some point if police refuse to be forthright with truth citizens will lose most of their trust in them.

        @ABC @SusanDJames with respect to the officers requiring more training, I'd contend you can't train common sense.

        @ABC this story of the young man going to the movies and ending up dead is horrible. Those officers should have been charged. Criminal (1/2)

        @ABC unless officers have received specialized training, this is a common response to the situation and not criminal, just tragic.
