I thought the beginning(his yelling for his mama and all the 'aw naw my dawg you ain't bout to handle me like that nonsense) was pretty funny. Its fucked up that he died, but he brought it on himself.



Thoughts?

I don't think that he should have been tasered to death. The taser is 'supposed' to be a non-lethal weapon.



He could have just rugby tackled him

That looked like excessive use of force to me.

I don't know anything about taser guns, really. I just know they're used to help people who suddenly get out of control when they're being arrested... :shrugs:

They release electric shocks, that temporarily paralyses muscles rendering the person who's been tased unable to move...



...I think.

A Taser is an electroshock weapon that can stun a targeted subject from a distance by firing electrodes on the end of long thin wires.



A handheld Taser which discharges high-voltages to penetrate clothing, followed by low-voltages to cause Neuro Muscular Incapacitation.
