  Absolutely. Not to mention the general anti-police opinion on reddit. Watching the entire police released video is quite a bit different than whats painted in this article.
context: What are they supposed to do when someone is constantly moving around like that and trying to run away? I’m not condoning what happened. I just want to know what were they supposed to do protocol-wise? Or what shouldve be done in a situation like that to avoid him dying? >
  
  He was moving but the taser also clearly has a function to beep when being used too long and the office continues using it while beeping for 3 seconds, stops 1 second for it to stop beeping and then uses the taser past the beeping again immediately.  He isn't allowing any time for the heart to return to normal in between uses. The guy is on the ground, the taser was used to make it easier for the three officers to handcuff him, not because any of them were in danger >
  
  But he wasn’t in cardiac arrest after the taser use for some time. 
  There’s also a whole lung between where he was tased and his heart. 
  I’m not sure this was because of the taser. >
  
  What? So they put a tremendous amount of stress on his heart and a few hours later his heart finally gave out. Like that’s how it normally goes >
  
  Who said the taser caused the stress? You don’t think it could have been all the fighting with officers that did that? >
  
  Really? This is the angle you’re going for now? Come on. >
  
  Or maybe all those drugs coursing through his veins. >
  
  He was brought to the hospital immediately after being tazed 6 times in 30 seconds. But you’re saying they aren’t related? >
  
  What about “he was brought to the hospital after a 6 minute fight with officers whilst high as fuck on a speedball”…? Have you even watched the video… the guy is off his nut. 
  Also what’s the time limit where we say it’s not the tasers fault? A day? An hour? A week? 
  If a taser caused the cardiac arrest, the loss of consciousness would have been almost instant - it would have caused fibrillation, which would have you out cold in seconds. 
  It’s fucking nonsense, but because he’s the brother of the cousin of the aunties daughters boyfriend…. who also founded BLM, it’s “ooooo the police killed him oooooo riot time”. 
  How about next time don’t fight with officers lawfully detaining you? Then you might not fucking die. Hows that. >
  
  This title is silly - the family on behalf, the guardian, whatever adult in the room overseeing his care is “seeking it”. That’s a child and that child would not be seeking $50M.
  Regardless of it being done on his behalf, the title is silly. >
  
  "If you Taser someone with 50,000 watts of electrical energy six times”
  50kW? Where on earth they’re pulling these numbers from? That’s the equivalent to 50 microwaves. >
  
  asking lay people to know the difference between volts and watts is a losing battle >
  
  Pikachu can zap with 50000 volts. It can kill an elephant! >
  
  Yeah, presumably Pikachu uses more than the couple of milliamps a taser does >
  
  This comment section will quickly turn into those who watched the video and those who didn't
