Pittsburgh man dies

August 24, 2007
Michael Hasch, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Chad Cekas, 27, unarmed

"A stun gun was used several times. It is not known why the man lost consciousness, but within minutes police officers on the scene were telling dispatchers that paramedics were urgently needed because they could find no pulse."

Chad Cekas died last night. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office will perform an autopsy today.

You know... I understand not wanting to hurt people unnecessarily. But, you weren't there, sitting in traffic. He was running around, blocking traffic, brawling with motorists, resisting arrest, and reaching for an officer's weapon.
They could have shot him... Would that have been any better?

Cekas has a history of drug abuse with herion, Oxycontin, Ecstasy, and crack cocaine.
I'm sure that had nothing to do with his death... You idiots.
If he wouldn't of got aggressive with the police, they wouldn't of had to use the taser.
Research a story before you make a statement!!

Chad was a good friend of mine. Many years ago. He had a drug problem. Like a lot of other people our age. Myself included. He did not deserve to be killed. He was not a big guy. Probably 5'8. About 160#. And was not a fighter. Any cop in reasonably good shape could easily take Chad down. He should still be here. Not killed by the people who are supposed to protect us.
