"Lt. Pigott was an outstanding member of that unit who was called upon to make a split second decision which had a tragic result. Contrary to many accounts, that decision did indeed weigh very heavily on him," Sullivan said in a prepared statement. "It's worth remembering that our police officers are not supermen but rather flesh and blood human beings who deal with life and death situations that most of us cannot even imagine on a daily basis."

I think 1480 mentioned this in the last naked tazer guy thread. Still, the whole incident is a terrible thing.

I believe the thread was closed before this happened.

It is obvious that the man was not one of these on the force who thinks its perfectly fine that people die for no good reason. He had a heart.

Way to go taser lovers. Now 2 people are dead.

Now it is almost guaranteed that this alternative to the firearm will be outlawed within a decade. Now good police officers (You know, the ones that are trying to do their job of "Serving the public" instead of being cowboys) may pull a firearm when they think about what a taser might do.
