On May 11, police were called to the parking lot of a University Place, WA apartment complex to talk to a man who was having a delusional episode. Ron Hillstrom, 44, was beaten to death as he screamed for help after neighbors reported that he was walking in a circle requesting assistance.
When police arrived, though, he received anything but that. “I see four officers walking up on him and they’re like, ‘It’s the police,’ and he’s like ‘You’re not the police’, and he goes to run in the circle and as soon as he comes back the police use four tasers at one time,” said neighbor Ashley Patterson said.
A second witness told KOMO News that she heard Hillstrom yell, “They’re out to get me! They’re trying to set me up!”
“One cop had his knee right on his neck, holding him down,” a third witness said. “The other one was down by his feet and two were on each side of him.” Full story...
