I have trouble feeling sympathy for these people.
So what if one of those students in the US who got tased, had actually died? You wouldn't have any sympathy for them? Does the punishement fit the crime in that scenario as well?

If, as you stated earlier, everyone acknowledges that tasers are potentially lethal, then police need to be extremely careful about where and when they use them. Problem is, I think a lot of police/law enforcement probably view them as non-lethal and may be to quick to resort to it.

Some of you are acting like killing someone is no big deal. Well, ask the cops that did it...i'm sure its a big deal to them. Ask the victims families.
