A few months ago, we wrote about, Iman Morales, a mentally ill man, was killed by NYPD officers on September 24th, 2008. Mr. Morales was tasered while standing on the ledge of a store front awning 10 feet high without an air bag to break his fall. The officers ignored his mother’s cries for an airbag, and made no attempts to catch Mr. Morales who fell to his death after being tasered.
“He was a good son. He didn’t deserve this. It shouldn’t happen to anyone else. All he needed was a little help, which the NYPD didn’t give him,” Olga Negron, mother of Iman Morales.
