It was just lazy policing. Rather than take the time to subdue him, the police thought they could zap him and get out of there quickly. He was a big guy and the police didn't want a physical confrontation. I can't say I blame them. Death by taser is very rare. If the man didn't die, this would have been a non-issue.

Despite the compelling evidence, I'll say true. People are tasered everyday. Cops are tasered as part of their training.

have a look around at the news. taser incidents that do not result in death are being protested constantly.

it is not the job of the police to deal with a situation as quickly as possible. it is the job of the police to deal with a situation as best as possible: in a manner that is fair and safe.
