I certainly agree Rapaire that the police should be equipped with Tasers
or a similar weapon to be used if possible before lethal force. My reasoning is that it may save lives rather than take them. It should never be used as a routine tool. In this case it was four (I would expect highly trained officers) against one poor confused soul. There was no time taken to evaluate the situation or any reasonable fear of threat. The Taser was just used as a tool to apprehend someone who wasn't going anywhere. If he had survived the police would have been nothing short of bullies who were negligent of any safety for the man. Since he died the action was criminal and the officers should have been arrested and charged as soon as reasonably possible.
