		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why the hell did the police approach someone who was clearly unarmed (As clearly unarmed as humanly possible), and delusional, and &#039;appeared to be intoxicated&#039;...with tasers, and then actually taze the man?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Don&#039;t be too quick to blame the cops, on this one.

If I came across someone like that, I would assume the guy was on something. Given the schizophrenia, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;PCP&lt;/a&gt; seems a good candidate, and that makes him far more dangerous than the average human.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The analgesic properties of the drug can cause users to feel less pain, and persist in violent or injurious acts as a result. Recreational doses of the drug can also induce a psychotic state that resembles schizophrenic episodes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>I wonder what the procedure is for determining whether a naked, delusional, ranting man in the highway is intoxicated or not.</description>

		<description>Why the hell did the police approach someone who was &lt;B&gt;clearly&lt;/B&gt; unarmed (As clearly unarmed as humanly possible), and delusional, and &#039;appeared to be intoxicated&#039;...with tasers, and then actually taze the man? 

Do crazy naked unarmed men really pose such a large danger to the police?

Oh, wait. An &lt;B&gt;injured&lt;/b&gt; crazy naked unarmed man. (He apparently wandered into a moving car and got hit by the mirror before all this started.)

Oh, and the third and fourth times he was tased, he was already on the ground, he just wouldn&#039;t roll over on his stomach. I&#039;m not entirely sure it&#039;s proper policy procedure to make naked people roll around on the ground

And I &lt;B&gt;am&lt;/B&gt; entirely sure that using tasers to enforce compliance is &lt;B&gt;exactly&lt;/b&gt; why people objected to them in the first place. They&#039;re &lt;B&gt;supposed&lt;/B&gt; to replace, and only replace, lethal force. Are we to assume that, before tasers, this police department regularly shot people who failed to present themselves correctly for handcuffing?

&#039;Paramilitarization of Police&#039; indeed. This man was barely committing a crime and clearly needed help, and was attacked repeatedly by the police. 

What&#039;s next...people unconscious after car accidents getting shot at because they&#039;re not exiting the vehicle with their hands visible? People with stab wounds being charged with littering because they&#039;re bleeding everywhere? People having heath attacks in public charged with loitering and tasered when they &#039;resist arrest&#039; by just clutching their chest and laying there?

Repeatedly assaulting crazy people is not the job of the police. The job of police is contain obviously crazy people and turn them over to some sort of mental health professional.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Treated for what? Nudity? A God complex? Impersonating the president? Or getting zapped?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes.

When he said, &quot;Forgive them Father...,&quot; who was he referring to?

Clearly they need a larger caliber taser.

Maybe the plans to invade Iran were in his other pants.

Hmmm..., maybe this helps explain why the police are becoming more paramilitarized.</description>
