But, if he refused to move, or provide ID or/and tried to insight the rest of the people in the library to join him, then I'd say zap the guy. That's the story I've read.

I don't think you need a full investigation to say that someone pleading for mercy while getting electrocuted numerous times by the police isn't right.

If you watch the video, you hear him say how this is an abuse of power. That's it. Since when does the government have the right to electrocute you for speaking out against it as you are being arrested?

Regardless of anything, they should not have tasered him when he said he had a medical condition. They should have either physically subdued him or, if he was life-threating, use lethal force.
