What confuses me is the tasing 4 times.

What’s the liklihood that a psychotic episode offsets the effect of a tasing? Why wasn’t the person secured with handcuffs and/or restraints immediately after the first tasing?

They have this taser that they are all too happy to use that immobilizes a person. It seems to me that failure to secure a person after being tazed once, should be a form of neglect. Especially when the failure to secure leads to the subsequent death of the tazee.

Of course if the tasers don’t have any effect and just anger the beast, then that would justify multiple tasings.

Tasers effect the muscles so it really doesn’t matter if it angers them. Although once you turn the taser off the muscle control returns.

Cops are trained to use violence as the solution to all problems. At least it seems that way. Combined with the mentality of those they hire and the steroid abuse its a wonder more people don’t die.

Not really. Tasers are not designed to just be used over and over until the person stops moving. At best, that qualifies as torture, and at worst, it can lead to death.

If the taser doesn’t work, the cops should be trained to move on to more reliable methods of subduing a suspect.
