Police said Stephen Clancy Hill, a porn star, attacked three of his fellow porn stars with a samurai sword at a house that was being used to film porno's on tuesday. The sword was a prop for the porno..... interesting in itself.....
Apparently Hill attacked one costar with the prop and the 2 other men intervened and got attacked too. One of the men actually died via samurai sword. tragic and odd. anyways the controversial part of the story is that it's still unclear how Hill died. The police finally caught up with Hill, 4 days after Hill killed his fellow porn star, when he was standing on the edge of a cliff for 8 hours. The police that may or may not have been the reason for Hills death says he used "less than deadly force" in attempt to take Hill into custody for the murder of his co-worker. Was it the polices stun gun what made Hill topple off the cliff? Was he dead before he fell just from the stun gun being used on him? Did Hill jump hoping to escape? Was it suicide? The whole death is kinda sketchy. I don't know if it was good judgement on the cops part to stun gun somebody standing on the edge of a cliff. Though a stun gun is considered to be "less than deadly force", does it make it deadly if the person being stunned is standing on the edge of a cliff and could easily fall? If the cop simply walked up to Hill after trying to negotiate for 8 hours and Hill threatened to jump, at least the cop would be out of the limelight. Hill's death would simply have been considered suicide. Or the opposite, the cops could have just sat and waited for him to get hungry or have to use the restroom and got him then. I don't know if the cop was in the right or wrong, it's very controversial and raises a lot of question as to when and how officers should use force.
ODD is right! I laughed out loud reading this article. Being a policemen is difficult. Having people second guess you on every move in any profession is hard enough. But you would think after eight hours in a standoff with police that some kind of expert would have time to arrive to hand the situation. Perhaps it was the eight hour in the sun that skewed everyone's judgement. Tasers do save lives but may not be the appropriate in every case. In this case a cowboy with a rope might have been better.
