Jack Roberson's family called 911 after he took a handful of diabetes medicine with alcohol and expressed that he wanted to die; two officers arrived, and classified Jack as "combative" and shot him dead in front of his family. Police claim Roberson had two unspecified objects in his hand, but witnesses maintain he was unarmed.
