re: Nonviolent man tased more than 50 times, put in chokehold, dies.

The incident began late on July 4, 2019. Acting Wilson police captain Taylor was dispatched to the area following a report in which the caller reported seeing a man, “screaming and running down the road.” Attorneys for the family attest that Lakey had a preexisting medical condition which caused “disorientation and confusion” and that Lakey at no point threatened the officers nor caused violent offence to any persons, including the police.

He was also naked

While police-recorded video of the incident shows officers repeatedly alleging that Lakey was on drugs, “possibly PCP,” toxicology reports taken after the autopsy revealed that Lakey was not under the influence of any illegal drugs, with the only irregularity being his elevated blood sugar levels.

Not saying what they did was right, not even sure how they tased more than 50 times, but if someone is not mentally capable of taking care of themselves some responsibility falls to the family
