You're making it sound like the cops killed this guy because he was resisting arrest where infact it was through a adverse reaction to one of the legalized tools available to officers. Are all surgeons who had a patient die from complications also killers as well then? the patient shouldn't have died but for some unforeseen reason did.
The fact that this guy died and/or this guy was on drugs should not at all be factors in whether the use of the taser was inappropriate, yet for some reason those 2 arguments keep getting repeated over and over.
There are people who are tasered inappropriately and are fine and we don't here a thing about it. Yet everytime there is a problem with the taser it gets reported in the news and the same people every time regardless of the circumstances come out and say it was inappropriate use of force because the guy died. Get it through your thick heads that the result of the use of the taser has all to do with whether it was used properly/appropriately.
I'm getting pretty tired of the "its always some elses fault" attitude that is becoming so prevalent in our society today. Maybe i'm just jaded after the sudanese community was up in arms after that guy was shot and subsequently died after STABBING a police officer. Take responsibility for your own actions FFS.
