How is this not murder?
A 62-year-old grandfather and church deacon named #JohnnyHollman lost his life in Atlanta police custody after a minor traffic accident. He declined to sign a ticket, believing he wasn't at fault, and tragically, he was tased to death by the officer seconds later. #gapol #Sayhisname #Atlanta

If you refuse to sign can the officer not print that on the signature line and they will send the court date in the mail?

I don't know why the cop was trying to force the guy to sign a ticket, he doesn't have to, but as soon as a cop tells you to put your hands behind your back, it's best to just do what they say. If you try to fight them cuffing you, they have to escalate until you comply.

Really hoping these cops are behind bars.

They've lowered the threshold from "Stop resisting!" to "Sign the ticket!"

The police are sorely undertrained and underqualified to do their job. Law enforcement needs an overhaul badly.

it is murder and the killers will most likely face no consequences
