SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A man who was running through traffic wearing only underwear and socks died after police used a Taser to subdue him, authorities say.

I hope he remembered his mom's admonition to always put on clean underwear before going out.

I'd hate for him to have been caught dead in dirty underwear.

Probably weren't clean anymore after getting Tasered.

It’s pretty sad when the police use a Taser as their only solution to catching a mentally ill man running around in his underwear. Let the lawsuits begin.

If he’s dead... Fruit of the Tomb.

Joking aside, that really would be a bad way to go.

The taser kills some people now and then. However, these folks all tend to be like this crazed raving psychotic: dehydrated, hypere-agitated, probably poisoned by crystal meth or crack cocaine.

Anyone notice in the little video, that the woman claiming witnesses to the incident (supposedly already handcuffed when tasered) could not look at the camera, nor the reporter - and closed her eyes a lot...???

And notice that the family already has a lawyer on the case....
