CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) – A 400-pound black man died after being struck repeatedly by police wielding metal nightsticks, and the mayor said Monday a videotape showed that the officers were defending themselves.

Did these cops not have guns? Could they not ‘wing’ him? No pepper spray? No Taser?

And who are these cops that couldn’t out maneuver a 400 lb man?

Is there ever a reason to beat a man to death?
