At the end of this video, the man is clearly unconscious and is later pronounced dead. Let me ask you, did his deranged behavior warrant the potentially deadly use of tasers? Could those three officers have detained and rendered him immobile through other, more tactful, more reasonable means? Though this is not an issue that particularly pertains to war, I do believe is pertains to the notion of a police state, excessive use of force, and unfair, unchecked, and asymmetrical structures of power. The effects of this are very clearly potentially fatal.
