He definitely didn't deserve to die, but what makes these 4 men poorly trained? Some have even called their attack malicious. The taser has been given to officers as a form of non-lethal incapacitation that minimizes risk of injury to the officer. I'd say they weren't really going out of their way in using it, the man needed to be disabled and dealt with. He was a danger to himself and others. Unfortunately, it seems that taser use hasn't been as safe as previously thought.
