The teen was in a ‘violent altercation’. I would tase him also.

It is (probably) too bad he died but it happens. Based on this report - police did nothing wrong here.

“The teen was in a ‘violent altercation’. I would tase him also.”

Not. I used to work in EMS many years ago. Violent people are fairly common. One big guy with a knee to the chest, two or three others on the arms and legs. Then you hogtie them to a guerney with soft restraints. And wheel them into a nice, quiet room to scream for awhile. They eventually calm down.

...Except kill the kid.

Even though their own lives were not in danger — which used to be the standard in this country for cops to use deadly force.

I’m just glad those five heroes made it to the end of their shift.

“When they arrived, there was at least five security guards who were engaged in a physical altercation with this 19-year-old attempting to restrain him,”

If 5 people couldn't effectively restrain this man (19 is a fully grown man & it doesn't state his height/weight) then odds are pretty good that he could seriously injure someone. Assuming the facts here are accurate & some contradictory details haven't be left out, tasing was a valid course of action. I don't think people realize how dangerous this situation may have been. I'd tase someone before I'd let him smash all the bones in my face.

I'll be the first in line to bash (figuratively) the cops, but it doesn't appear warranted here.
