The cops from "Don't Tase Me Bro" have stepped it up

On Tuesday March 2nd, when an international graduate student, Kofi Adu-Brempong was having a "nervous breakdown" in his apartment, a concerned neighbor phoned 9-1-1. The University of Florida Police Department responded not by bringing in mental health workers to stabilize the situation, but by breaking down his door, shooting him twice with a taser, three times with bean-bag shotgun shells, and once in the face with an M-4 (a combat-grade automatic rifle) - all reportedly in 30 seconds. Kofi Adu-Brempong is now in the hospital in critical condition, and due to the assumption that anyone having a mental breakdown is a threat, he is facing criminal charges for possessing a weapon (his cane that he uses to walk due to his polio).
