Something is crazy here. A sick man is tased seven times by a woman cop to make him cooperate with emergency medical specialists who are attempting to put him on a stretcher. Shortly afterwards he goes into a coma and dies 18 days later, never coming out of the coma. Four months later the county cops issue a report exonerating the Soddy-Daisy cop of any wrong doing, and we read where the Medical Examiner’s Office in Knoxville has ruled the death a natural event caused by several medical problems, mainly a fungus that caused his erratic behavior. The real fungus that killed him is the willingness of the citizenry to allow the brutal and deadly use of the Taser gun by the cops on people instead of insisting that the cops be trained to subdue people in a less violent and dangerous manner. This same fungus contaminates the Medical Examiner’s office to the extent that they are willing to completely ignore the fact that a Taser gun was used on the man seven times shortly before he went into a coma. It’s a deadly fungus indeed that allows the police and the Medical Examiner’s office to write off these kinds of murders as death due to natural causes.
Report exonerates Soddy-Daisy police officer in Taser-related death
