Police 'killed deaf cyclist with stun gun after he failed to obey instructions to stop'
Victim: Roger Anthony, 61, died after an officer blasted him with a stun gun as he rode home on his bicycle
Roger Anthony, 61, was killed as he made his way home in Scotland Neck, South Carolina, after officers responded to a 911 call about a man who had fallen off his bicycle in a car park.
The caller told dispatchers that the man appeared drunk and that it looked like he had hurt himself.
Officers said they repeatedly told Mr Anthony to get off his bike, but when he didn't respond, they shocked him.
The state Office of the Medical Examiner hasn't yet determined a cause of death.
Family members claim Mr Anthony had hearing
problems and suffered from seizures. Now they're considering whether to
file a lawsuit against the town.
His brother Michael said: 'What did they tase him for? It's hurting me. It's really hurting me.'
Scotland Neck Mayor James Mills said he wouldn't blame the family for suing.
'There has been no information that this man was a threat to anybody,' he said.

'If I was a family member, I'm sure I'd be thinking the same way.'
Mills said he has tried to get
information from the police department about what happened to Mr
Anthony, but they have turned him away.
Police Chief Joe Williams says the officer is on administrative leave while the SBI conducts its investigation.
He declined to comment further. Anthony's family said they hope the case is resolved soon.

South Carolina said they are looking into Mr Anthony's death.

TERRORISTS ARE CREATED BY OUR GOVERNMENTS (GAME OVER SEE INFO and SHARE)
This war on terrorism is a lie. We are told that Al-Qaeda have got it in for the West. Why? What are their demands? Why are they so hell bent on blowing up planes when all the high tech security in the world is there to catch them? If Al-Qaeda was real (we are told there are 500,000 on a watch list) Why arn't they blowing up trains, buses, bridges, shopping malls, pubs, schools, public events, rock concerts, festivals, Israel??
Because the only time a supposed Al-Qaeda event happens is when our governments want to add additional surveillance equipment or new laws or remind us that our government is our nanny, a nanny state, there to protect us. Mind and opinion control. That takes away our freedoms and puts us in a prison, mentally.
IT IS A MASSIVE LIE WHICH STARTED BY THE ORCHESTRATED 9/11 EVENT.
