Deadly force

Jonathan C. Tubby was allegedly depressed after relapsing with cancer and suicidal, according to family members.Tubby was stopped by police, who discovered he had a felony warrant for his arrest. As Tubby was being transported to the jail, he began acting strangely, as if he might be concealing a weapon. When the police cruiser arrived at the jail's sally port, Tubby had turned himself around completely backwards. Officers had to remove the back window to get Tubby out of the car. Tubby was standing on the police car's trunk when for uncertain reasons police shot him twice with a beanbag gun, to no effect. An officer then shot and killed Tubby.
