The county, and indeed, the Sandy Police Department, do not NEED to admit to any wrong doing. Any sane person, knowing the detalis, could come to no conclusion, other than these officers were DEAD WRONG, and their supervisors, who retained these fools, are also DEAD WRONG! Within 28 seconds (via 911 radio log) of the officer's arrival, and locating this victim, he was DEAD! In this twenty eight seconds (start counting now) the officers said that they dismounted their vehicle, noted that the victim was "unarmed, naked, sitting crosslegged at the edge of the road, catatonic, and moaning. (he was burned over eighty percent of his body)" both officers, fearing that he might touch them, demanded that he lie, prone, on the pavement (CATATONIC, remember?) which he did not do (go figure!) the officers, fearing that he might touch them, emptied both of their tasers (darts, 50K volts!) into his back. When the taser torture ended, the victim apparently snapped out of his catatonic state enough to flee torture. The officers then shot and killed him, in the presence of paramedics and firemen, and their supervisor, and our District Attorney, could find no problem??? (how many times have you counted to 28 seconds while reading this?)

The lesson here is a simple one: If you are in a car accident, bleeding, naked and on fire, do not call the sheriff's office. You will be seen as a threat to officers and civilians alike. People who are are fire do not act rationally. And sometimes neither do the police.
