A Sad ending for this confused guy,

Police fired a Taser at a naked Brooklyn man armed with only a fluorescent light tube yesterday, sending him falling to his death from a second-floor ledge after he went on a 40-minute rant.

To see if the fluorescent lamp he was holding would light up?

Man... Just saw the video, what the hell was that officer thinking? What did he think would happen, that he'd just float to the ground after being tased? He just acted out on a guy who was obviously in a psychotic episode, don't the NYPD have psychologists? Damn, thisi is easily involuntary manslaugher if not more...at least from my poor knowledge about US laws...

Either the officer will be charged with Manslaughter eventually or he will be sued to nonexistance.

These stun guns were a good idea on paper but in reality instead of being used "Instead of a firearm" they are being used "Instead of an Arm"

Those who go through additional training and lots of time in the books making DAMN sure they know everything about this weapon are the ones that will suffer as these trigger happy *******s eventually get these weapons outlawed.

I have reached the opinion that tazers more and more are getting used preemptively and for disciplinary measures. Both is unacceptable. Tazers exclusively should be used in cases of police being attacked by suspects turning clearly violent against them. not following orders fast enough, or sanctionising unwanted behavior, are not sufficient reasons to tazer somebody. the police is not the judge. Doing so is not different to beating up a suspect because of his "suspicious dark skin colour". tazers are meant to be non-lethal weapons of self-defense - not more and not less. what we currently hear with regularity, is a clear abuse of the intention behind their introduction.

Couldnt agree more!

I don't understand how much of a threat one man can pose on a 2nd floor ledge for him to be tazered.

On the face of it this strikes me as just plain crazy.

Yeah, some cops seem to think that since it's a (supposedly) non-lethal weapon, then they can use it at will. Morons

^ This with passion!

A non lethal weapon is an oxymoron.
Damn politically correctness, it will doom us all.

Weapons are always made to kill, they are desgned for that sole purpose.
Show me a non lethal weapon and I will sell you the golden gate bridge.
