        Do cops get training in what effect tasers have on the body? Is there a protocol for max number of times they can be used?

        if only the cops know as much about subduing a combative subject in the middle of the interstate as all these commenters.

        A rope around the perp's neck might have been safer. Right? Cops don't understand tasers

        once he grabbed the taser they could have shot him, in retrospect probably should have.

        Liberal logic: continuing to resist the police after stating "I quit"= police wrong to let you do what your synthetic hi tells you

        cop clearly felt threatened for his life right? Didn't just taser a psychotic man to death because he wouldn't do as he said?
