T-man, I could not agree with you more!!!!. Billy was a good person when he was not under the influence of illegal substances. I've known Billy for most of my life. He helped my Daddy for many, many years in Tobacco. It's amazing how quickly the press and public automatically assume that Law enforcement has done something wrong. It never ceases to amaze me how the public never hears about how much trouble the criminal has been in or what our Officers have had to endure before such extreme measures were taken. Just so the public knows, I have seen people get tased and it NEVER AFFECT THEM!!! I am sure that if tasing this person had subdued him, the officers would have stopped. I've also seen criminals absolutely go beserk (not caring who they harmed or killed) while on illegal substances.
I can not for the life of me understand how the Bladen County could even think about settling this matter if DA Rex Gore cleared these officers.
Why not use this money for some drug rehabilitaion center???? We in Bladen County have nothing of the kind there.
Think before you cast judgement on these officers.
