No Great Loss
- A man died Thursday night after getting Tasered at the Chicago Police Department's 5th District Station and again at Roseland Community Hospital on the Far South Side, authorities said.
The death happened at the Calumet District Station, at 727 East 111th Street, a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office said. The 38-year-old was pronounced dead at 5:47 p.m. at Roseland Community Hospital.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was arrested Wednesday about 7:15 p.m. after he beat his 69-year-old mother in the 12800 block of South Morgan Street.
Officers were trying to take the man to court Thursday when he “became combative with officers,” according to a statement from the police department.
Police used a Taser to “gain control of the subject,” who became combative again after he was taken to Roseland Hospital, where police again Tasered him, the statement said.
The man was given a sedative and later died, police said.
Personally, we blame the sedative. But a 38-year-old man beating his almost-70-year-old mother? Who had to be hospitalized herself? No great loss.

Buh-bye
Amen, Amen, I say again, Amen!
The rare is a great tool when it works. I have used it several times. beats fighting with someone and injuring myself.
What's sucks now is the shit heads family will sue, all officer s involved to be served and deposed for hours. Most other not involved wil say not to worry but they haven't been sued before so they have not a clue. Even when right the cook county way makes your life as an officer miserable for at least 2 years over this waste of a human being that should have been aborted and yet, I'm pro life. I thought we a minority report like unit that predicts crime? No.
Do you think the press will concentrate on the sedative he was given or the fact he was tased?
Coleman could have chosen to comply, and he didn't.
Passing electricity thru someone is never a good idea.Not on the BG side,probably deserved it and no loss to society,but Taser is FOS if they say their product is incapable of causing death.
Aluminum and hardwood are much better in the hands of a trained professional.
bye bye dickhead
Who long before the family hires a lawyer and applies for ghetto lottery?
So the "kid" is beating his mother and this is what the father has to say.."Coleman's father, Percy Coleman, said today that police “aren’t going to get away with it.”
“My son … (has) never been in trouble,” he said. “He’s a grad of the University of Chicago. They won’t be able to run him out that he’s a drug dealer, this and that.”
What the hell has this world come to? Back in the days if you so much as talked back to your mom you would get the crap kicked out of you.
He's defending his "kid" for beating mom.
Now watch his mom sue the police for the wrongful death of her low-life, elderly woman beating son. Sounds like another made for TV classic ghetto drama.
Well Anita Alverez was saved the trouble of fucking this case up! That woman is as intelligent as a dog trying to fuck a fire hydrant
from that bastion of fairness and impartiality, The Chicago Tribune:
"Coleman was pronounced dead at 5:47 p.m. Thursday at Roseland. An autopsy is scheduled for today.
Coleman's father, Percy Coleman, said today that police “aren’t going to get away with it.”
“My son … (has) never been in trouble,” he said. “He’s a grad of the University of Chicago. They won’t be able to run him out that he’s a drug dealer, this and that.”
Percy Coleman refused to comment further."

One would think that a U of C grad would know better than to a) beat his mother and b) continually fight with police while he is in custody,
Another rocket scientist taken from us. Of course, in certain neighborhoods, never having been in trouble means never convicted of triple homicide.

True. That's why his days were not long upon the earth.
The father cares more about the son than his wife that the son severely beat, and put in the hospital. Ahh the ghetto lottery will strike again. When it's ruled that he died of a pre-existing medical condition or the sedative caused the death will Roseland Hospital be added to the forthcoming suit?
Chanel No. 9 says the recently deceased was a University of Chicago graduate and held a Masters Degree from UIC. Impressive for an elder abuser and Roseland resident.
He beats his mother and his father defends him after his death. What a joke. Then his father spews some non sensical bullshit out of his mouth about his son not being a drug dealer. You're right old man he's not a drug dealer he's a mother fucker.
Another reason I hate the liberal bias I have an agenda news media. The way they say things, the words they use, the angle they put everything. God! Literally putting all the blame on the police. Lets not forget this dirt bag beat the shit out of his elderly mother. Then he brings his violence and anger towards the police, twice! He and he alone is responsible for his own death, not the cops. Good job officers. I'm glad all the police are okay. Get ready for the frivolous lawsuit though.
A great gain for those of that work and pay taxes. I guess his cradle to grave existence was a short one.
His dad made a statement about it , he's an ex Cha copper and was talkin shit about the police. EX around here when Ur an EX copper at that age Ur probably as big an Asshole as Ur son and probably got fired for a good reason. Fuck off.
When not in use, turn off the juice!

She'll sue the City.....and win.
I love how the headline has to read "Man dies after police taser him" Instead of "Man dies after hospital administers sedative". Or maybe "Man dies after having Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits for dinner" Seeing as how the autopsy isn't in yet who the fuck knows what cause of death was? Probably a number of factors contributed.
How come the headlines arent "Man dies after being sedated by hospital"?
"...taken to Roseland Hospital,"
I would not take a stray cat to Roseland Hospital(and I don't care for cats).If ever a jagoff needs street justice that is a perfect place to dump them.
The father of the deceased is supposedly a retired police officer from who knows where and he is accusing the responding officers of excessive force. The father is the one that called 911 for help when his son flipped out and physically abused the father and mother. Sounds like the father is a jerk.
Hey I heard that he had a degree from U of C and a Masters from somewhere else. So it can't be possible that he beat up his 69 year old mother or fought the police or spit on the medical people or fought with the hospital security. Because somehow having a high end degree means that you will automatically be a good son and citizen. I could make a list a block long with the names of highly educated people who commit murder and mayhem.
Also, I wonder who paid for those degrees?
These family members that say he didn't deserve this, need to handle their own family attacks.
There is a reason they called the police, maybe he was out of control
Not surprising, ever hear of odpo suing the police, same area
Does anyone want to bet that his TOX- screen reads like the inventory list for a RxAll pharmacy? We had a case of Tazer death out here a few years back and it turned out that the guy had enough cocaine in his system to get a collage frat party high.
People need to remember who you are today is different from the person tomorrow. coleman was a star qb at mphs, had all the ladies, went and graduated from u of chicago and had a great future. Im just saying, he was not a shit head or came from a shit head family
Wow... I knew this guy, briefly. Was one of those forever students who didn't believe in working, "for the man (white that is), and was kinda homeless.
U of C graduate ? ? ? Well, the facts speak for them self . .
Sounds like the father is a real mother...
C'mon SCC get it right !
His father (ret PO ?) says he was a good boy that went to college that was beating his almost-70-year-old mother.
What a POS !
ABCD
ABCD (ret)

Maybe the father knows he can get some $$$ out of this if he screams loud enough and soon enough. Probably looking to augment his pension.
No need for judgement. the deceased was an intelligent Man. We all have our own share of issues that we succumb to daily. He suffered from a nervous breakdown. He would never have harmed anyone. He was not in his right state of mind. The WC should have sent him for psyc eval.
If his family sue the department then it's well deserved and while they're at it sue Roseland Hospital.
Phillip was an intelligent Black Man and he loved his family.

How about "Man dies after heart stops beating."
She fought with us AFTER a noise call, drunk and profanity thru walls. Three officers to hospital one scratches bruises to head hands,one bruises from being kicked before we got her in leg irons. one who was attacked from behind; kicked on the balls, both knees,ribs and hair pulled OUT as she finally went down!
Three surgerys + ( a cadaver transplants ) and Will exceed 365 in March!
Detectives and on call ASA approved aggression batterys X 3+felony resisting X 3 and felony resisting in lock up.
Prelim judge Francis Miller " NO PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST the day After my first surgery!
Grand jury presented with agg batt and resisting one time only. They gave direct for both the week of my second surgery (the other officers didn't show up or wanted to pursue) 5 days after my third surgery they ASA LADIES AND MS. JUDGE SULLIVAN DISMISSED ALL CHARGES NPC TO ARREST AND PROCEDURAL ERRORS!
BIG AARP AND THE LADIES WILL NOT APPEAL saying they made so many mistakes it Will cost too much to lose?
Text book case: 3 cops hurt one crippled and career ended with no hope except Wal Mart Greeter and the offender walks and Will get rich.
Is this who we voted for? If i were a female illegal alien she would seek the death penalty exception?
TRUST NO ONE TAZER UNTIL THE BATTERY GOES DEAD AND DUCK TAPE THEM!
Don't let your Children grow up to be law enforcement! Marry a lawyer, raise 10 children to be lawyers and get rich! Not dead or crippled.
Excuse the length but if it saves ONE officer it Will be a happy miracle!

Good paramedic I know took someone there who'd been injured in an industrial accident and they had no idea what to do with a head injury. Guy was yelling, fighting, irrational and they were just going to give heavy sedation, strap him down, push it into the corner, and get back to their eating and phone chat while he died.
Hmmmm...
This sounds like a job for...
*dramatic 1940's radio announcer voice*
Anitaaaa Alvarez! Super State's Attorneeyyyy!
*dramatic organ music... dramatic pause... kazoo sound & a long sad fart*
Amusing how all the planets quickly aligned behind, "He died after being tazered by Police," but no mention or political hay being made of the fact that this fool may have ingested "something" that didn't agree with him being given a "sedative" at the hospital...
The dirty, usually hidden hand of the Chicago criminal political-media apparatus moved openly for all the world to plainly see... That is if they wanted to...
As soon as the father started bumping his gums only about possible Police culpability, (in his eyes only) the hidden hand moved to put the pieces in place for sole responsibility for this entire incident to be laid at the feet of The Police...
Heh...
Could there be any clearer illustration to further the cause of hands-off Policing in this city?
Heh...
It was easier when just safety and lives were at risk...
Now that people are on board with taking a Policeman's freedom away on politically motivated whim and pretext?
Destroying Policemen, their wives and children financially?
People are real free and easy to shit-talk at leisure, a decision to act having to be made in a split second... As long as it's just The Police being exposed to a disproportionate level of potential harm, everything is gonna be alright.
Apparently, we haven't walked this city to a hard enough stand-still... Yet... Just sayin'?
Viva... Viva Hate...
The Police are The Enemy.
Right?
Policemen in this town are too generous, accomodating and forgiving in the face of the majority of the public tuning their backs on them and allowing conditions like this to thrive.
The Police WILL be found culpable for this incident.
Some way... Some how...
The people will cheer and throw confetti as they've been conditioned to by the criminal political media apparatus of Chicago.
Now he is a University of Chicago Grad, a respected businessman. What was he when his daddy called the poleese on his ass for beating on his momma? What was he when he was fighting with poleese? What was he when he was fighting with medical personnel? Fucking damn drug addled jag off.

You my friend, are a complete F***ing moron. You are no better than the media, why dont you go work for them and vacate a spot for someone who is on our side. Do you think for a second, that if the taser was dangerous or could in and of itself, cause death, any police department would invest or allow the police to carry them? No, idiot, so keep your uneducated liberal opinion to yourself.
All these idiots defending this supposed smart man. University of Chicago students are known to be so smart they're stupid. This dummy just proved that theory right.
The father cares more about the son than his wife that the son severely beat, and put in the hospital. Ahh the ghetto lottery will strike again. When it's ruled that he died of a pre-existing medical condition or the sedative caused the death will Roseland Hospital be added to the forthcoming suit?

Father cares about $$$.Fuck every thing else !!
This guy was highly educated. I wonder what made him snap like that? Drugs?
Wow 107am sounds like you had a personal relationship with this unemployed, homeless piece of shit, who fought with officers, beat his mother, and then fought with hospital staff. How about his father who is supposly retired po take it up the ass for not getting his son the so called right kind of help!!! And for all you fucking liberals out there... You fight with the police you gets what's coming!!! Because I will go home as I came!!!
God is in control.

"the greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love
and (if you're really lucky) be loved in return"
"we all die, it's just a question of when"
it's all a fucking adventure.
ride the wave.
Chalkie
This guy kicked his mothers ass, slapped his elderly father, harassed neighbors, spit blood at responding officers and fought numerous times with officers. Yet the family insist the police mistreated their " loved one".
Well family apparently you guys weren't doing a good job of handling this wacko because you had to call the police on him. Now you're pissed at the police. Looking to hit the ghetto lottery.
Using this family's fucked up logic Ted Kuczynski couldn't have been the Unabomber because he had some pretty prestigious education too.
Where it is written that educated people can't act irrationally??
I have a feeling he was/is a U I C, not a UofC grad.
Big difference, although that is not a knock on UIC, great school — just not the same level of UofC.
I think somebody misspoke and made an honest mistake during a trying time.
Does not matter though — you mess with the Bull, you get the Horns.
Rightfully so.
Phillip was an intelligent Black Man and he loved his family.

What if he was a White Man? Would he have been less-intelligent or less loving of his family?
Undergraduate from the University of Chicago.
Graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Gainfully employed.
When the going gets tough, you go right to the thug life.
I wondered about that also. The man's elderly wife was beaten badly enough to put her in the hospital, but he sides with his son.
Maybe she's not really his wife. They may have never "jumped the broom".
Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits kick ASS!
"...he should have been sent for a psych evaluation..."
How about if we let the hospital decide if he needed psych. OOPS--Can't. He's dead.
