Controlling the Herd
Cop Shoots and Kills Unarmed Man Lying on the Ground
On February 2nd, 59-year-old David Kassick was pulled over for expired tags, and rather than cooperating, decided to flee towards his home in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. There he was pursued by Officer Lisa Mearkle who subdued him with a taser, and repeatedly shocked him while demanding compliance. The taser video of the incident has recently been released, which shows Officer Mearkle screaming at Kassick, and demanding that he show his hands and “get on the ground.”
It’s obvious from the video that Kassick complied with everything she asked, and moreover, was unarmed and completely helpless. Despite this, she still decided to shoot him in the back, and continued to yell orders at him as he lay dying in the snow. Mearkle was charged with criminal homicide by District Attorney Ed Marsico, but was recently cleared of any wrongdoing by a jury.
