Six if you’re actually around check this out:

A guy in Chattanooga died last month after getting tased 3 times. The police said he got combative so they had to use the taser. A witness says differently:

If you buy the official autopsy, which concluded he died of natural causes due to pulmonary embolism (and the tasering had nothing to do with it), her statement fits. Meaning, the guy was in the process of dying and they tased him 3 times. That is so screwed up.

Ugh.

If a guy’s on the ground, it’s time for EMS. Period. End of story. He’s certainly not a threat. WTF is wrong with the training in these places? It’s not even like Chattanooga’s some podunk backwater. It isn’t even unreasonable to expect the police to have some minimal level of EMT training, like a Red Cross first aid course, which is available for nominal cost.
