lol, no offense, but that is a very ill-informed statement. I am afraid that you watch too much TV. :P In the US they only pull you over for going 8+ MPH over the speed limit (in most States), and the do not draw a weapon on you because you speed. :P They approach your car, tell you that you were speeding, ask you why, ask for your drivers liscense, go to their car to check your record and issue your fine/warning, then return it to you, explain it, and drive away.
I will not blame you for you misconception, as the media loves to promote such ideas. On the topic of the article though, the policeman was seperating the fat old drunken **** from the others, and he attacked the policeman. The policeman was defending himself and had NO reason to believe that a taser could be fatal to him. After all, if his heart was in that bad of condition, why was he getting drunk and brawling? An innocent young man's life is ruined now, and the guilty party has gotten away scotfree.
