  • @CokeColaForTheWin Screw you -_-

  • This is outrageous!  The man isnt black! Why would police do this to a white man?

  • Cops don't negotiation no more

    they Tasered up to the point of killing the person

    you think pepper spray would have been enough

  • this guy was drugged up i mean he got naked and went on a rage!!!....

  • Naked, yelling, smashing his own head in the street, classic signs of someone overdosing on drugs.... sounds like he was already on his way out....

  • @CokeColaForTheWin Is was tragic that he died but that was a crime and maybe they should of just tackled him but why be racist?

  • @CokeColaForTheWin this is coming from an american...fucking americans.

  • A few minutes after being diagnosed one of the surgeons said, "He is limp." That's what she said. WOOOO!!

    "Poor man." Stated one of the officers, "I hope nobody saw him shriveled up down there." To which his girlfriend replied, "Nah, he's always been that small." WOOOOOOO!!!

    After death, one of the officers told his girlfriend, "Sorry ma'am your husband had been paralyzed and then he died." She replied," What? He's always been paralyzed from the waist down." WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  • the cops can do anything these days and get away with it!

    Before i die i hope i witness some payback where the people actually tase police offisers to death and kick them when they are handcuffed that would be really satisfying!!

  • @CokeColaForTheWin and brits are better???

  • @egkg75 actually statistic says that the cops in great br is just stupid and that the cops in US whas raped when they where kids so they got allot of issues!!

  • @CokeColaForTheWin Fucking brits aren't any better

  • The guy was obviously way drugged up. The pepper spray and taser were simply the straw that broke the camel's back. Pepper spray and tasers have been criticized as dangerous weapons that can kill people on drugs. Is it better to train police to react by beating the shit out of them? Pepper spray and tasers are a couple of the most efficient non-lethal weapons that exist. Even being tased has a very quick recovery time.

  • @ToastedYak they die after getting the shit beat out of them too... when they're that high that they shed their clothes and start running around naked... he's pretty much done... you shed your clothes because you're hot, as in his brain is starting to literally cook inside his own head... he was on his way out.

  • boohyea!

    to hell with fatties

  • So what? If he was banging his head against the pavement, then he got what he wanted,

  • sounds like the guy may have been in lots of pain before he even got tasered

  • Cops should use nets. Less harmful and way funnier.

  • sounds like a diabetic convolution, going into seizures, what ever happened to getting medical care??? What ever happened to the police that had some common sense?

  • Sounds like excited delerium to me, meaning he was almost dead before the cops even got there. The taser probably had nothing to do with it.

  • But he's naked. There's no need for the taser, unless they just really didn't want man-junk on their clean uniforms.

  • COPS R KILLERS

  • most of you dont see the point in a tazer gun... the tazer is to be used to protect either the suspect/criminal to prevent him harming himself, or to protect other members of the public/officers dealing with the case.

    the women that was intervied already said he was thrashing around in the street. hitting his head on the pavement. basicly the cops couldnt get near enough to him to subdue him without any other means. so they tazered him both to protect themselves and the criminal

  • seizures and convulsions do not make a person a "criminal"

  • srsly gaiz did he died?

  • One less dumb ass in the world. No loss at all.

  • Liberals don't like it when they lose a member.

  • did they died?

  • If you get tasered by more than one stun gun, it is possible you will die! All those volts going through yout heart! I think more than one cop tased him!

  • That is incredibly incorrect... Anyone that knows how electricity works will tell you that current, and not voltage is what makes electricity dangerous to people. the human body can conduct thousands of volts of electricity without any injury, providing that the current is sufficiently low Tasers. I think cops shooting tasers is a much better alternative to cops shooting guns, but it's so hard to convince people when they're basing their opinion off of information that's not even correct!

  • That's not how they work. It doesn't matter how many tasers hit you, it is the same amount of voltage. Joules and amps are what kills people with electricity, both of which are very low in tasers.

  • Tasers should be banned as Police uses it as a funtime game

    Howcome a naked man be armed?

  • What people fail to realize because the media didn't point it out is that the death was probably not only the result of being tasered, but was also probably brought on by the drugs he was on. The drug may have increased his heart rate to an unhealthy speed, then the taser is what threw it just too far. Anyway, I don't think tasers should be allowed to be used under the circumstances that they're currently permitted, I'm just saying people aren't considering that drugs are also to consider here.

  • But surely the question is...did he deserve to die. According to your own law, your own constitution (if you believe in it) no.

    Your lack of compassion for one of your own astounds me.

  • Yanks are Fucktards mate, learn that, and remember

  • btw if u dont want a reply dont keep answer my comments. be smart fellah

  • Exatly what does it explain? i wanna know. The "Now knowing where you're from explains everything..." is the worst line ever made.

  • Oh shush.

    Why do people insist on antagonizing the dumbasses on YouTube?

  • some unexplained phenomena. anyways im out of this conversation and off to Queen Ranias channel. saw this really interesting documentary about what she was doing on here channel and im heading over there to check it out and get some ^^ higher learning. come check it out ya. im out. peace

  • no country can kick Sweden ;) boy

  • it does sound like he was on drugs or something...they said he banged his head against the concrete and thrashed around! the stun gun and drugs was probably too much pressure on his heart...that is if he was on drugs. he must of got all sketched out and ran around naked! lol

  • aaammmeeerrriiicccaaannn cards always works against americans :p but seriously u really dont seem to be able to take a joke.

  • damn Americans cant take any jokes with the ongoing recession :P

  • i thought u americans had stopped with that savage death penalty through elecrocution. appearently i was wrong. and what were those officers thinking when they combined pepper spray and electricity. arent they more educated about what a lethal combination that is :(

  • savage death penalty through electrocution (you spelled it wrong) .... riiiiggghhhttt.... Its called a STUN GUN or TAZER in slang, not a firearm or real gun. He probly died because he was on drugs and was apparently insane.

  • i know what a STUN GUN and a TAZER is. im making fun of you( not you literally) thats all. and who needs to check his spelling errors on an internet site anyways

  • did i even mispell?

  • when u kept zappin the guy...something gotta give...its not uncommon ppl get killed by tazer. theres so many ppl died cause of it.

  • Ok what are the copS going to use when the person won't do as order.

    NIGHT STICK, how many died from that before the taser?

    PEPPER SPRAY, how many died from that had chronic lung ?

    DEFENSIVE, tactics how many people died or injured???

    

    DOFFIESTYLE 247::: What are you going to replace the taser with that is 100% safe.

  • two words...ninja stars

  • dude we know what the nazis did and it was inhumane, what bastards but that was over 60 years ago its time to let go, americans have been good to jews shit they run half of it, i mean african americans hte us cus of the whole slavery thing like it was us doing it i mean yea blacks were treated bad but let it go theres no more riding in the back like theres no more nazi camps so enjoy life,

  • the revived last battalian search it they are back and it sucks to be the enemy of them they will stop at nothing i will shoot down anywon who will try to stop them

  • no, but they helped me wreck a few cars XD

  • Right, right... heres a quick list of actual cop duties

    -suck donuts

    -ride the clock for some sweet OT

    -hotdog around town beating on your cruiser

    -harass suspects

    -try to escalate a violent situation

    -the last 2 items always apply if you outnumber the perps 4 to 1 or better

  • Why taser him if he was naked? The worst injury you could get from a naked guy is what? A black eye? Seems like a combo of pepper spray and an old-fashioned tackle would have been more than sufficient.

  • A naked lunatic on a rampage? A black eye is the least of your worries! What if he finds you....... stimulating?

  • I'm not going to jump into this argument about whether tasers per se are potentially lethal or not, because I really don't know enough information about their effects. But did the witness not say he was completely flipping out and banging his head against the pavement or something? I'm just saying it's not explicitly stated that the taser was the reason for his death. In other words, the report is really saying nothing conclusive at all (except that this man died).

  • hey, i got your answer, why dont you watch the video, then we wont have a debate? did someone die after being hit with a taser? YES? then its fucking lethal. has it happened multiple times before, and have police tased the shit out of people when it was unnecessary? YES? well then, debate settled

  • What morons like you want to ignore is WHY WAS HE NAKED? The answer to your second question is no. Fill me in on your sources polices have used taser when unnecessary. Morons opinions dont matter BTW though im sure you think your opinions are facts.

  • Yes Xantheus, see, that's what I'm saying, it seems a lot of information wasn't suppied explicitly in the report, but can lead a person to above conclusions based on inference. Again, I'm not claiming either side because I certainly don't know.. he could have given himself an aneurism and the taser cliched it, or, without the taser he had caused enough damage, or, it was solely the taser. I just don't see, on the basis of this story, how it "proves" that a taser is lethal.

  • i always find that public nudity warrants that person being executed, it makes sense, living in iran and all

  • most likely he was overdozing on some meth or whatever, his heart was probably stressed out, and tazor shock tips him over the edge - heart stopped.

  • in Canada tasers are currently under investigation for having inconsistent voltage outputs and for excessive use by police officers, what happened to good old fashioned police brutality where they'd just punch you in the mouth?

  • Sounds like the cops had every right to kill a mentally impaired man with a taser.

    That's sarcasm in case an internet troll missed it.

  • Fuck the police. If I tasered somebody and they died I would be in jail for murder, why the fuck isnt some cop being arrested for this shit.

    And cops wonder why everyone fucking hates them...

  • Sounds like that big fat ghetto ape was worthless anyway. I say thin the herd of this crap.

  • True That.... Fucken Stupid Poes

  • "In the old days, they would have beat his ass with a baton."

    True.

    That's because pigs are cowards at heart and are only tough with weapons.

    Or when it's 5 on 1.

  • well said

  • What's up with the title? It should be something like "Police Kills Man with Taser"

  • You know shit is bad when I'm no longer surprised that the police are killing another black person.

  • In most countries in the world a policeman can NOT shoot anyone if he/she is not threatening them with gun.

    And even a suspect have a gun they cant shoot to kill em, but they have t shoot em in lags or so to disable em instead of killing em.

    LA Police are the biggest pussies in world, they use guns for no reason if no one is watching; they just pussies just like their Austrian governor Arnold;

    Cali-phonia LOL!

  • a very useful tool indeed

  • whereas you are a useless tool.

  • I thank God you are a FORMER Cop. No I'm quite conservative and grew up in a family of peace officers. Notice I said peace officers.

    You sir obviously have issues.

  • One naked guy and, what, more than one cops? If you claim they needed to tazer him they you might as well claim the cops are all fat asses with no combat training.

    Nothing wrong with tazering by the way, but the cops are really becoming useless if they needed to tazer a naked unarmed man.

  • Your wasting your time trying to convince me, because it isn't going happen. I'm unplugged and can think logically unlike yourself.

  • Unless the man had a weapon, there was no reason for the cops to use a weapon. Back in the day cops would tackle a person and cuff them..It needs to go back to the old ways..

  • Even if the man was on drugs...what gives someone else the right to murder him ?

    That is what judges and juries are for that is in some states that have the death penalty.

    The man had no weapons and was butt naked. If 4 or 5 cops can't handle that without using deadly force they should go find an less strenuous job that is more suited to them.

  • just cuffed him and taken him in.

    hes just one guy, there were loads of cops.

  • he was a danger to all the virgins in the immediate area . JV

  • Sick.

    He was unarmed in fact naked.

    No need for tazer.

    SIck bastard copper.

  • I am still a little confused on this video. It makes me laugh though. haha! Youtube= freedom of the videos... haha, gotta love it.

  • He was asking for it??

    That man could had mental problems.

    He could have heart issues, or be taking drugs,

    that don't respond very well to the taser.

    You guys are fools.

    You are building a Nazi nation,

    and yet you are not realizing it.

    Ask the black people in your country.

  • Another person with mental problems is killed by the police. When will enough be enough !

  • so your saying that if the man was confused he was asking for it than I should go out and shoot every white male because they were asking for it right that your understanding humm let me go get the bullets

  • Give them an inch, they will take a mile. Everyone saying "ha! he deserved it" or "one less idiot in the word!" are next :)

    Go ahead and proudly accept what these police officers did.

  • he derserved to die for that shit

  • Racist

  • got that right nigger

  • Demonic possession!

  • He was asking for it!

  • All BLACK people want to be tazed correct?

  • Some dude did the exact same thing over here in Texas a couple months ago! I think someone said he was running around asking to get tazed too! Check it out!

    v=0iyBxSRE3_k&NR=1

  • tasers should be illegal, Its just a weapon without bullets.

  • Not fair to group us all up like that! We are not all like that... There are a lot of us who fight against our government all the time and feel just as pissed and disgusted as you do.. We are not proud of what has happened to our country and trust me, this was not the vision our forefathers had envisioned for us! BUT... To be fair I agree with you and America does suck and I apologize to you for our behavior! I also believe that WE as well as some other countries should be wiped off the planet!

  • so we have one less whacko in the world,thanks officers you have alot of work to do.

  • looks like suicide by cop

  • looks like murder to me he might have been just high or in severe distress

    no need to murder him.

  • They killed him for his own protection.

  • Statistically, tasing him was the safest thing to do, not only to the bystanders but to the man himself. The man could have died anyway from whatever he had taken.

    Bing tased at least gave him a chance that medical help could come quickly.

  • at least the guy wasnt black. then they would being sueing the cops and making them quit their jobs. the guy was clearly drugged up and i dont think it was the taser that killed him but more likely a massive overdose.

  • Death by lawful electrocution by the look of things. Mass media getting the public conditioned into accepting this as the norm!

  • OK, what's the humane alternative? Dude was losing it, do you fight with him? Do you club him unconscious? Is it more important for the suspect to go home to his family or the cop?

    Have you ever tried to restrain a crazy person? Its a bitch, they often have the strength of a chimp. And dude is naked, so you can't hold him too well.

    Detail must be added before I condemn the taser. If given the choice I'd rather be tasered that physically beaten. More people die from being clubbed.

  • net gun

  • Well that IS a solution now ain't it! I'm all for net guns. Actually they have these things that shoot a silly string on steroids, but people choke on it.

    I'd like to see a statistical breakdown on the lethality of tasers vs other means of restraint or apprehension. I'm sure pepper spray's caused a few heart attacks, and its obvious people get killed by the billy club all the time.

    Is the Taser just more dramatic and publicized? I'm asking folks, civil discourse.

  • YOU NEED TO WATCH

    FITNA THE MOVIE:

    v=5kcev1K-NOc

    VERY SERIOUS SHIT.

  • Good. Now there's one less idiot roaming the streets.

  • The RCMP have deemed these tasers are deadly weapons and are implementing new guidlines in its usage. Its about time the rest of the world caught on. Too many dead people.

  • Ever since donut shops became stomping grounds to some unhealthy cops, there´s been a marked increase in pussy-like cops too afraid to confront violent suspects. Many cops arent afraid to take a suspect down physically, but the token female cop will always reach for a taser...same said of the cops who live an unhealthy life style. They become too afraid of losing face and so they reach for the stunner.

  • the guy was obviously on massive amounts of Meth.

  • Tasers are safe...

  • Why do we shoot animals with tranquilizer guns to immobilize them but we taser humans to death?

  • the cops might as well be using their guns.

    time to ban tasers.

  • Anyone who has worked with mental health/disabled knows this is crazy. Stop treating people worse than animals!

  • Tasers shold not be illegal. Any electric shock to any human body is not good for the body. Bring the night stick back.

  • No great loss here. Just another druged out nutcase running naked in the streets. And he died. Big deal! Just another loser who WE will not have to support in our jails or rehab with our tax moneys. good riddence!

  • YOU ARE SO SAD. Every life is precious.

    Apparently this man had issues that nned to be worked out. It is sad when we live in a world that care about nobody but themselves.

  • True..thats how i fill also

  • will the police on dayor another in the next decade or later pls

    consider of possibly rethink their

    procedures and actions.

    no pressure, though...

    geeze..

  • Title of video is misleading. Tasering the man probably had nothing to do with him dying. Banging his head on the payment would have done more harm.

  • Doesn't make it right to taser people who are "losing it" he was probably having a seizure. Tasers have to go.

  • Omg they electrocuted him to death.

  • You don't suppose he had a concealed weapon?

  • sad and scary

    R:I:P

  • bring back the night stick, get rid of the tasers, after a couple hits to the head and one well hit to the ribcage it takes the fight right out of the criminal. and no one dies

  • They use those things WAY to quickly...whats wrong with pepperspray ? why not use pepperspray? is a naked man deadly? did h had a gun shoved up his ass and was about ready to pull it out and shoot those pigs? ive seen alot of videos where they taze ppl for no reason at all,when there is no danger to the cops,they still use it...they just like to see ppl in pain..i dunno..sick fucks..but tazers should be banned.

  • bloody pigs always looking for opportunities to kill "harmless" civilians, the guy might be nuts but he's unarmed

  • For real. If I attacked an invader in my own home I'd be judge on what he wielded to harm me and what I wielded to stop him. Clearly a naked man only poses a physical danger with his hands, feet, and head. So If I shot a naked invader I'd be prosicuted.

  • Tazers are a fatal, leathal, and dangerous weapon. Anybody with an IQ above 80 is capable of understanding this will just a very elementary knowledge of electricity/biology.

    It would seem that most police teams in this country have neither.

    Tazers should be treated just like a firearm.

    Jesus fucking christ.

  • If I got tazed in the pecker, I would die too

  • "Tazers are not lethal, people with medical conditions make tazers lethal"

    Heavy.

    And I'd like to add:

    People who bleed make guns lethal.

  • he should have used a safer method....like clubbing him.

  • Tasers are like harmless. People that have "problems" like heart problems or drug heads make them deadly. its sad he died. But my father is a police and thus I know many police and all tell me they are harmless to the "healthy" and could be fatal. And come on. What criminal is gonna shout i have a "medical" or "drug" problem when he sees a cop and taser? :P its like sayin im allergic to dogs and its a k9 unit lol. it isnt gonna come to mind if he sees a COP. lmao.

  • Tasers are harmless? Why do people keep dying after being shocked?

    In the law of torts (civil wrong or injury), there's a principle called "the eggshell plaintiff," meaning you take your plaintiff as he comes. If you negligently trip someone, and he turns out to have hemophilia, ends up bleeding profusely from a minor gash and dies, well, sucks to be you. Even if an ordinary person wouldn't suffer mortal wounds, you will have to pay the damages if you were found to be negligent

  • "Tasers are like harmless. People that have "problems" like heart problems or drug heads make them deadly. "

    You might think "writhing" in the street naked might be a clue there are a few "medical problems". They must screen cops for low IQs. ..

  • Ya know, all the man had to do was comply with the officer's request to cooperate.

    If so, he'd still be alive today.

  • What part of 'evident medical problem' didn't you get ? If you see someone who's clearly not in their right mind (like this naked guy) you can't expect him to cooperate nor you can tase him for that matter. Where's the common sense? It's a shame a cop has to rely on 'his duty or procedure' rather than good old fashioned common sense.

  • what is a striker

    and/or student...?

  • God Bless him... ya'll some sick muthafuckas for jokin bout this.. I GUESS YALL JUST NUMMED OUT ON PEOPLE DIEING

  • Seriously, I'm nuts, I've gone streakin before yellin at the top of my lungs. It's hilarious. But to most people, it's stupid, and I must agree, it's an impulse. But if you get tasered for being naked, I can't imagine the massacre if a cop found his daughter naked with some dude. Taserfest. The man was probably old and retarded, give the guy a fuckin break, he's probably looney

  • Lol you all are fucking ILL. Watch the video again. It says the dude was shouting and came toward the cops, they didn't say somethin like "The naked man had a crazy look in his eye and threatened to fuck the cops ass up" this case is plain and simple bullshit. Basically, I could strip naked, run around my town screaming "MARDI GRA" cops would be called, show up, and if I even acted like I was running their direction I'd get tasered. I'd rather live in Africa and run around naked all fucking day.

  • Tasers are non-lethal, its people with medical conditions that make them lethal. Every person that has died from a taser has had some sort of heart problem or has been hoped up on drugs

  • atleast tazers are better then guns how many people have died due to guns?

  • How many more people are going to die as a result of tasers to get them out of cops hands?

  • HOT DOG!!!! hahaha

  • READ THIS BEFORE POSTING SOME DUMBASS COMMENT ABOUT "DUMB COPS"

    Bonecrkr

    I certainly would have shot him. He's was obviously dangerous.

    The cops here tried to bring him in alive, using methods that are very low risk.

    It is unreasonable for people to expect these methods to be completely risk free. People being violent, high on some serious drugs as this guy obviously was, always presents risk. The cops do their best but public safety and their own is the priority....not the criminals.

  • LJ you must be mentally unstable cop on drugs, since you appear to know so much about these topics. Im thinking you would see Harvey Keitel's character in Bad Lieutenant as a role model. Also, nice job with the copy and paste there, dumbass.

  • Since when can't someone run out in the streets naked and act belligerent? I thought this was America damnit!

  • Maybe his penis was deformed and scary so the single old fat lady had to call the police on him.

  • I guess the moral of the story is, if you're going to run around screaming nonsense in the middle of the street you can have your dick out, but make sure to wear some anti-taser armor on your chest and sunglasses to block out the pepper spray, if you want to survive the ordeal that is!

  • PCP I bet naked running around could have been LSD also but I dont think he would have gone running around outside on LSD probably PCP or crack who knows

  • These people are fucking clowns, they didn't realize he wasn't breathing. What a joke. This shit needs to stop.

  • i agree with the cops although something may have been done to prevent this unfortunate death, its the guys own fault probably drugs which is stupid on his part but if he did them and this is the consequences, so be it.

  • LMAO What a fuckn Retard.... dont they used to have places for tards to run around?

  • Brutality at its worst.

  • whats your problem? its unfortunate that the man died but the police where doing there job. if the man had been waving a gun around and shooting wildly then the cops woulda been a hero, but as it is the guy was prolly drunk or high, i have no medical experience but I think high is more likely due to the fact that drugs screw with your heart rate and blood pressure. and if it turns out he was high then it was his fault. he could have hurt someone including himself badly and the cops took a chance

  • 400th view

  • 400th viewer

  • Another piece of evidence indicating tasers are unsafe. Also, why do the police so often kill people that are obviously mentally ill?

  • Because you're an idiot.

    Tasers don't have the amperage to kill a normal human being. Obviously this individual was on drugs if he was banging his head on the street and yelling jibberish.

    Also, killing people obviously mentally ill? Do you have proof of such an absurd statement?

  • I certainly would have shot him. He's was obviously dangerous.

    The cops here tried to bring him in alive, using methods that are very low risk (I certainly would not have given him that consideration).

    It is unreasonable for people to expect these methods to be completely risk free. People being violent, high on some serious drugs as this guy obviously was, always presents risk. The cops do their best but public safety and their own is the priority....not the criminals.

  • sorry i can't give another thumbs up, i might have to quote you to these retards who are blaming the cops over a most likely junkie

  • she sounds like she had to remember what she was told to say.

  • where'd they taser him?

  • I am beginning to believe that they should not issue tasers to law enforcement. There have been lots of abuses and many deaths. Too many for comfort or trust.

  • that's california cops for ya.

  • If his cock was that big a tazer wouldn't have taken him down. ;)

  • there are rightwingded stupids that stand for the rightfullness of the police action....police should just tackle that guy. that was clear police abuse

  • God help you if you get a mental illeness in this country anymore!
