Cops Strip Man Naked Then Pepper Spray Him To Death

Discover The Doomsday Seed Vaults Secrets

 Did Tampa-area police tie down, pepper-spray, and eventually kill a disturbed man who was arrested for public intoxication?

That’s the account and accusation relayed by Reason.com. Over two years ago, 62-year-old Ohioan Nick Christie was detained for public intoxication while on a trip in the Tampa, Florida area.

The man’s wife asked that he be taken to the hospital, but Lee County cops allegedly decided instead to “strip Christie naked, tie him to a chair, cover his face, and then pepper spray him repeatedly, until he died.”

His death was ruled a homicide because he was restrained and repeatedly pepper-sprayed by law enforcement officers. But to this day, no one has been charged with a crime, and the state attorney cleared the sheriff’s office of criminal fault in the case.

      When a murdering despotic kenyan terrorist is in office you can expect more behaviour like this. Its called “Tyranny”

      The family should thank Obama and the DoJ he wasn’t water-boarded to death. Wait a minute, has anyone ever been water-boarded to death?
      Where’s the ACLU and Amnesty International, and come to think of it, where’s the U.N.?

      It kills with impunity because the people let them.

      If the people fought back, things like this wold not happen. Is called cause and effect.

      A bully will not stop until confronted. And the police that do act like this are just that. High school bullies graduate into policemen, TSA agents or DHS agents. Too much of cowards to go and fight a real war against people that fight back.

      Oh brother, are we turning into a 3rd world country? Our Presidents before could do a lot better than this. What’s wrong with this jerk we have?

      Sadistic torture of a mentally ill man. You should all hang your heads in shame.

      I as a law-abiding American Citizen do not condone such behavior by local, state, federal police or any U.S. government agency.

      I declare this foul play, and believe with all my heart that someone got away with murder.

      When officials become this corrupt and heartless, there is no hope for the people.

      Just goes to show the rot, where it is, and how no one really cares any more. Another reason to think that the USA breeds the biggest terrorists, it is the kind that is subversive and pulls at your inner fabric.
      I am more afraid of the treatment from the police than from anyone else in the community. And they have guns, pepper spray, tazer, baton and always travel in pairs.
      We should be praying for the mental health of enforcement officers because if your society wasn’t so rotten, then you would not need such subjection.
      I can smell the fear. I feel sorry for his wife. That is two now I have seen since I have been on this website.
      You guys are out of control. Take a reality check. Overthrow the government and either get rid of your guns or use them for something useful, like forcing the elite/pollies/lobbyist/parasites to run for their lives with the clothes on their back.
      I am surprised at how much faith the general public has in the system. Of course no one will be punished, look at Rodney King, that had to be publicised worldwide for action to be taken. Do you really think anything will happen? How much money does this woman have to launch a case against the county?????? Don’t forget to pay your taxes, you will be jailed.
      Too bad for her loss. I suppose they will say he shouldn’t have been drinking. Rapists aren’t put to death. You guys are way out of kilter. I think that it is almost impossible to stem the tide of violence now. Its gonna be every man for himself. Everyone in America thinks that they are the most important one and that their life should have precedence over another. That is why you will eventually destroy yourselves.
      Give up already, draft a new constitution by the people for the people. Stand up. You are only hurting yourselves.

      Have you ever consider that they keep the bad officers because they are the ones that blindly obey the orders?

      Is no accident. Is by design. Where else would they find people with no quarell on abusing in the name of the state.

      And where else cowardly bullies would find a place to work with a good salary? In the army they need to actually put their lives in risk. So police, TSA and DHS are heaven for this people. They get paid to do what they love.

    • Room With a View

      I tell you the truth, I worked in an industry where bullies are rife and what you say is true.
      They are personally disempowered people with authority and they can feel better about themselves knowing they helped the community, but the methods they use now are invasive of human rights.
      It goes down the line, no one wants to take responsibility because everyone all the way up the line will be implicated. They are not gonna give up the paypacket, they don’t care, they go home and crack open another beer, chase those inner voices away.

      How many police would do that kind of stuff if an entire police station was taken out by a bomb with all the cops inside? My bet is the pigs would start police each other if this happened. I agree that police will do whatever they are allowed to get away with. The judges and prosecutors are so corrupt that justice is distant concern when it comes to issues of pay, power, being allowed to engage in tyranny, covering for the lies of the state goons in government issued costumes and enforcing a two-tiered justice system that allows the elite and police minions to get away with murder while innocents are beat, permanently maimed, falsely charged and imprisoned.

      Tampa is NOT in Lee county. Which is it? Tampa or Lee county??

      start killing cops, get the fear back in to their bones!

    • Howxotk

      Just for balance, this man died in March of 2009, about 30 days after Obama took office. So I’m not sure any of the tyranny comments have validity in association with President Obama. Also Florida is clearly a Republican State, Rick Scott, Chris Christie etc. just saying.
