Come on people read the article in post #4 where "Officers said when he failed to respond to requests to remove his hand, they felt they had to stun him again to ensure it was safe to approach".

It seems only fair that if an unconscious person does not respond to a request then he/she should be tasered.

Anyone who thinks this is acceptable is nuts. We live in such a paranoid society that is willing to give up their civil rights just to feel a false sense of security. It is very rare that police intelligence (feel weird using those two words together) is preventative influence on crime. Simply put they usually arrive after the crime has been committed. I personally would rather have the freedom to live my life without endorsing the growing militant like society we are evolving into that is being embraced by so many who do not realize the full extent to which this power can be exercised until one day it affects them in an adverse way.
