Don’t you think you were going a little overboard? This was obviously a freak accident. Unfortunately, people can get hurt when they decide to flee the police and resist arrest.

This was not an accident, it resulted from intentional acts with reckless disregard for the victim's life on the part of the police. Extreme negligence would be what I'd call it and it should certainly be charged as criminal negligence. If he dies it would be criminally negligent homicide.

There's no way for anyone in their right mind to defend this.

Get a grip, dude. Police enforce the law. This guy was weaving in and out of traffic and nearly caused multiple accidents, prompting multiple 911 calls. The police chased him and he fled, but he was surveilled by a helicopter. When the cops came in to arrest him—which is their job—he decided to resist them, prompting the taser. And, no, I don’t think any of the genius FREEPERS who are criticizing what happened would have ever anticipated that this guy would be made medium well by a taser.
