Yes, but sounds even worse. This guy was medically ill, the airport employees were informed about the situation that he was getting agitated with his wife. He panicked and had to get out of the plane, then they shot him. No one has answered my question: How do I now get my mentally retarded sister to Calif when airplane workers are murdering people that panic on a flight? Where's the law that guarantees her right to fly on an airplane? Right now, only the Airline Escorts get informed if someone is handicapped, but they are not required to inform the Airline Stewards nor the Air Marshalls with the guns. So I have no way of knowing whether she would be safe on an airplane. Regards, Amy J

I've worked with a bunch of cops when I worked as an engineer in a hotel and a bunch of off-duty Autin cops worked security. Most cops are fine people, but a few are evil. The difference is that we arm these guys and give them a lot of latitude in using lethal force. One cop I worked with had apparently killed some guy in east Austin, then planted a gun on him to make it look like self defence. I imagine this happens much more often than people think.
