| Police arrived for an attempt to arrest Stratmann and claim he grabbed a hammer. They tasered him and then shot and killed him. The cause for the attempted arrest was “mental illness” diagnosed by police themselves. The reason for the arrest was to force him to go to the hospital for online behaviors that displeased local police. He had made provocative comments on their social media pages that caused police to engage undercover police officers to find him. Stratmann had a verbal altercation with police when he entered a courthouse on prior occasion after which police claim he made “terroristic threats” toward them and judges in general. This was turned into an undercover operation to locate him and arrest him for “terroristic threats” which caused his demise. There is no record of him ever having been violent or having engaged in anything other than verbal arguments with police. He was apparently unarmed when killed aside from holding a hammer in his home. |
