Not funny, but somehow it would have been more fitting if it were a bag of nuts.

Incredible. Police using taser for that? I hope they'll be charged.

taser guns are dangerous.

That Sucks.

Yet another reason why prohibition of marijuana is far, far more dangerous and harmful to everyone involved than taxing and regulating it ...

I read about this earlier this morning on another site, but hadn't seen the video. It's disturbing knowing those are his last moments. If the bag was small enough to swallow he probably would have just gotten a fine and a slap on the wrist. So not worth your life :(

On the taser it's hard to make a call on that w/o knowing what is being said. If he's struggling and trying to tell them he is choking when he's on the ground before being tased, which I think may be the case, then there should be some diciplinary action taken. If that isn't what's being communicated though, you kind of have to expect getting shocked. I mean, they tase little kids down here for less than that.

No sympathy for the stupid.

No kidding! Three fat ass cops could not restrain him. These cops now days are tazer happy.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first person to ever die from marijuana, although it was technically because of plastic lol.

THAT IS ABSURD!!! Youd figure a gay pornstars throat would at least be wider than a tiny bag of grass.........

I remember seeing this on T.V ... damn ... :-\

sad.....................:2 cents:

That wasn't smart. I'm sure shit like that happens a lot.

i'm sure there's a spot for him on darwinawards.com

this is old news right? or something similar happened weeks ago..
i recall seeing the video, the officers were trying to help the guy after they realized the tazering caused him to loose muscle control, he was even pointing into his mouth to indicate the problem.
but wasnt the reason for the tazering that he was fighting with his girlfriend?

Tased him? He had a bag of marijuana, they should have shot him! :2 cents:

Not smart, but pretty sad.. The use of tasers is really coming under scrutiny all over the place lately..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Sad. The cops do what cops do. You dont fight with cops! I dont care how bad ass you are. Yes sir, no sir the whole way dude. Because they will take you where there are no cameras and thump the shit out of you.


Keep in mind its not what you or they say, its what you or they can prove. And when 2 cops corroborate a story, that story regardless of what really happened becomes a material fact.


In short dont ever physically fight with cops it will never end good and when in custody it gets way worse.:2 cents:

Just goes to prove that Pot is bad for you if you forget to unwrap it before eating it ...

This is why Pop Tarts come with instructions.

Good solid advice. I recommend shooting them in the face. You'll probably stand a much better chance of getting away with it.

That is why cops should know Brazilian jiu-jitsu/grappling to control and pin a person trying to resist. Basic controlling techniques with body positioning could have avoided a loss of life.

3 on 1 and they still used a taser? What a bunch of cowards.

Well thats one of the reasons I like living in Canada over the US. Here Id just hand it over to the cop and hope he doesn't even bother to write me up the ticket. Good Ole USA.

That would require real police work. Something most fat pigs aren't in the mood for.

you would figure he could swallow the bag of herb no problem him being use to taking big things down his throat

cops love their toys, swat raids and tazers are used way too often, those three cops should never have needed to taze him, they each had a hundred lbs on the dude for fuck sake

Jesus,what a way to go,over a little weed.RIP

Very sad

I'm so fucking tired of PIGS using their tasers as toys
