This time in New York.  A naked man was perched precariously on a fire escape, holding only a florescent light bulb as a weapon, and was ranting (I'm not making any of this up), when police tased him, causing him to lose muscle control and fall 10 feet of the fire escape railing.  He later died in the hospital due to the fall.

What did the police think was going to happen when they tased him?  Could they non anticipate the danger that he would fall off the fire escape?  If you go to the story, you will see a picture of him standing on the railing (they blurred out portions thankfully).

Poor training, and poor understanding of when and how to use a taser are obvious factors here.  Two officers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.  Taser International makes these things seem so harmless, that they are being deployed in all the wrong situations, and used far too frequently.  These are not stun guns, but they're being treated that way.
