The kid presented no threat to either officer, was running away at full speed from his own car and the cops, ensuring he wouldn't escape justice, as they knew full well who he was and where he lived, he was being arrested for a DUI, not mass murder or membership of ISIS.

Unlike you I did watch both video's before I posted because I had heard the story and could easily see a situation where a suspect with the officers taser could present a mortal threat, this wasn't that situation, you want to slag me off because I don't like cops killing people, well I suppose that's your weird position, but at least watch the effing video first.
This was no kid, he was a 27 year old man. Why try to make this out to be even worse then it already is?
