It's a completely horrible, unfortunate situation for sure, no question there. But given the way he was behaving, in no way do I find the officers involved criminally responsible. If I walked through an airport checkpoint screaming, throwing around things, and resisting arrest, I'd completely expect my ass to get tasered.
A complete lunatic? I think thats been blown out of proportion... From the video footage I've seen all the man really did was raise his voice and hold a wooden chair at chest height as if he was ready to throw it. There were 4 officers and instead of physically restraining the man they tased him- this is what gets me.
