Did Tampa-area police tie down, pepper-spray, and eventually kill a disturbed man who was arrested for public intoxication?
That's the account and accusation relayed by Reason.com. Over two years ago, 62-year-old Ohioan Nick Christie was detained for public intoxication while on a trip in the Tampa, Florida area.
The man's wife asked that he be taken to the hospital, but Lee County cops allegedly decided instead to "strip Christie naked, tie him to a chair, cover his face, and then pepper spray him repeatedly, until he died."
His death was ruled a homicide because he was restrained and repeatedly pepper-sprayed by law enforcement officers. But to this day, no one has been charged with a crime, and the state attorney cleared the sheriff's office of criminal fault in the case.

The World for People who Think
This poor man was murdered - that is what homicide represents - then who has been charged? Someone needs to be charged. The man did not tie himself onto the chair - tie a mask over his face and certainly did not spray himself. I've seen this article on other sites and I hope it becomes headline and viral and is in the face of everyone who has access to media.
The only question that needs to be answered is - who killed this gentleman?
Then the action needs to be the laying of charges.
Much Peace...to the gentleman who has passed...
