An emotionally disturbed Bedford Stuyvesant man fell to his death last week after a Lt. ordered an officer to taser the man while standing on a ten foot ledge. After many in the community viewed the incident, it prompted pressure from the NYPD to reinforce training on the use of stun guns and the mentally ill. As a result, the Lt. had been stripped of his gun and badge. In a unfortunate turn of events, the Lt. committed suicide today on his 46th birthday. Ironically, the Brooklyn man was laid to rest today. My prayers go out to the families.
