The results are in for the TASER shooting. Cause of death was a "combination" of Meth & Ecstacy with the TASER ultimately finishing him off (my paraphrase).

Parents are now suing the Police Department, the officer, and TASER International. The attorney for the family, however, seems to be really sighting in on the officer and TASER International for some reason in the lawsuit. I would think that going after the department and TASER Int. would be the way to go. Attorney's can you explain this tactic?

Parents still maintain that the officer should of used better judgment and waited for back-up to arrive. They also stated that if it was that important for the officer to stop the subject, then she should of used her OC and/or ASP, and not the TASER because of its "bad" reputation for killing people.

Here is the kicker, the parents and the family land shark are stating that the officer should have taken more time and talked the subject down from his hostility. The officer should have been better trained to handle these types of situations and acted responsibly, not recklessly. They also maintain that LEO's all over would rather use force on subjects who are either under the influence and/or MDP's (Mentally Disturbed Patient/Person). Officers need to talk more to people rather than using the TASER.

What will be next...
