Shawn Bias wakes from coma, able to speak with family
Great news according to a report from Sherdog:
Former Palace Fighting Championship featherweight titleholder Shawn Bias awoke from his coma Tuesday morning and was lucid enough to speak with family and friends, Sherdog.com has confirmed.
Also from the same report, one of Bias’ training partners, George Adkins, talked about the events that ultimately led to Bias’ hospitalization:
Citing police, eyewitness and medical personnel accounts, Adkins said Bias knocked on the door to the wrong party Saturday evening. Though Adkins said he didn’t know why, police were called to the scene. After finding his intended destination (another apartment in the complex) Bias purportedly went outside to apologize to officers who arrived on scene.
“Shawn allegedly took off running,” said Adkins, who acknowledged that he did not know of anyone who witnessed the incident from its inception. “They ended up getting him, and we don’t know exactly how or why he ended up being Tasered several times and struck several times.”
It’s great to hear that Bias’ condition seems to be getting better and we will keep you posted on any developments regarding this story.

Woah, he was tasered repeatedly? Earlier on I was getting the impression this was another MMA related serious injury.
seriously!
i just thought it was some kinda natural cause.
i didn’t know it was another case of police brutality!
If he were wearing his Five Ounces of Pain.com T-shirt this would have never happened. But hey I can’t do all the thinkin for these guys.
It does seem like an unfortunate event, but I just can’t see Police tasering someone unless it was for a good reason. Like that time when the kid was asking questions to john kerry…totally acceptable. I’m sure the cops didn’t even stop by to see how the guy was doing in his coma either.
If you wear a Five Ounces of Pain.com T-shirt, anything is possible.
Derek, clearly you haven’t been keeping up to date with all the unnecessary police taserings lately and how many of those have been ending in death. It’s really starting to get to the point where they seem to taser first and ask questions later. About a year ago or so, I would have thought the same thing, but these days it just looks like the cops are getting out of control.
DTMB — Don’t Tasse Me Bro!!!

yea, I know man. A friend of mine got tasered at his apartment complex and ended up going into cardiac arrest. The police ended up settling with him out of court for a pretty big chunk of change.
I just don’t wanna be tassed bro!
i would have pulled the cop that was tazing me into my guard and controlled him.
haha!
I know Shawn, grew up with him, hung out with his older brother. This is not surprising in the least. “Police Brutality?” Shawn most likely got drunk and did something really, really dumb.
“A toxicology report showed Bias was under the influence of a controlled substance when he encountered police, the fighter’s mother, Chris Bias, told the Enterprise Record. She declined to provide further details. ”
