Wheelchair-Bound Black Woman Dies After Being Tasered 10 Times To Death, Family Files Suit

"My aunt was basically tortured like an animal or something." Delafield's nephew, Ryan Delafield, told First Coast News months ago. More HERE



As reported by many
News Outlets and USA: Amnesty International Nine months after Emily Delafield, 56, died after being tased by police, her family has few answers about the events that led to her death. "This has been a very tragic and sad situation," nephew Ryan Delafield said. According to Green Cove Springs Police, the wheelchair-bound Delafield was arguing with family members and swinging knives and a hammer when they arrived at her home. Ryan Delafield says he is his aunt’s personal representative. In the weeks after her death he needed a death certificate for matters of her estate. "May, June, July... it was three months before we got the death certificate," Delafield said.

On the death certificate, the Medical Examiner cited that the death was a homicide. To get more answers, Delafield says in the fight to get information, he was passed from department to department.

"I called the State Attorney's Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement - Jacksonville Regional Office, the Medical Examiner… and the City of Green Cove Springs Police Department," said Delafield. More HERE

why didnt she call her relatives..why call the police?....this is where the cops should have just left her fat ass in the street, and called her nearest relative.Then there wouldnt be anybody to blame!!

I dont care, cops should at least have some decency to not KILL a woman in a WHEEL CHAIR! A grandma?? Wow that is something unheard of. Police today feel as though they have the ability to do as they please; run red lights, whistle at girls on the street without caring, things full of disgust that makes me say "screw the government"
Except for Shwarzeneggar because he's the TERMINATOR!!!
