    12. If he would have just complied with the police orders
    13. He exhibited at least 3 of the Invisible Signs (SJ link so hopefully it’s ok)[Ed. Note: Sigh.]
    14. He was tried to destroy _________ with his back.
    15. Wife told me dinner’s served at 6:00 and I better not be late.

      16. He had an asthma attack and passed out from lack of oxygen causing him to fall forward to the floor breaking his neck when he hit. Or something like that.

        Now Bill’s were satirical, humorous yet biting. Yours was just bad. Study up, as this will be on the test.

          Mine wasn’t meant to be funny. He was asking for an inhaler while being loaded into the back of the truck.

            Your only hope of saving face was a failed attempt at humor. I gave you the opportunity. You squandered it.

    Family… “We’re going to show you what family is all about! We’re gonna show you who is the BOSS of you! We’re going to sue you!”

    Cops… “Yawn.”

    The answer is simple: he had a “furtive movement seizure” … Those singly are so dangerous as to justify deadly force, just think of what it would do to his own back. It explains why it happened when police didn’t see him. After all, if they had, they would have had to shoot him for all those “furtive movements”.

        Apologies. I intended to suggest that when Abbott and Costello had conversations of such a nature about baseball, it is funny; when such a conversation, albeit fictional, is about the death of a man in custody at the hands of police officers, it loses it charm, to say the least. That was the basis for the unflattering comparison, not the style in which you wrote your post.
