Man weren't right ... that's a professional opinion by the way.

It's unfortunate that he died, but I'll reserve judgment until the autopsy results are released.

I've dealt with people who are that out of control, but usually with 5 or so other folks to help me hold him down for the restraint and the shot (any more than that and a small interview room just gets too damn crowded).

That guy was seriously going after the cops, and I'm also quite surprised he didn't end up shot. A lot of people don't go down in relation to peppermace, by the way. In the words of a local cop, "I would have been better off to throw the goddamned can at him." Several departments in my area have gotten the new-style Tazers. So far they are working very well, except for the one crazy guy that got Tazered twice AND had the police dog chewing on his ass and still wouldn't stop fighting.
