Architect In Diabetic Shock Beaten By Officers, Pepper Sprayed, and Repeatedly Tasered Before Dying

45. "We pepper sprayed him. We beat him. And we Tasered him until he stopped moving.

But we really didn't mean to kill him."

That's the defense?

At some point prior to death, police officers need to follow the manufacturer's guideline and not repeatedly Tase people.

Those who will not following the manufacturer's guidelines and, while knowing that electrifying people with Taser shocks can and has caused homicides, are taking a risk that they are going to kill someone.

Killing someone while having a depraved indifference can support a conviction for second-degree murder under appropriate circumstances. A conviction for second-degree murder does not require proof of intent as does first-degree murder. That's the law. It's on the books.

No one is going to prosecute these cops for anything, however. That's the way that the system works.
