The cops received a call that there was some kind of assault at a dormitory of University of Cincinnati .
When they arrived Hall was looking angry and agitated.
They tasered him as soon as he approached them. Next thing Hall is lying on the floor with no sign of life. The officers said he had a good pulse, but he had to be rushed to the nearest hospital. Shortly after he was announced dead.
The police department is still trying to find out what the cause of his death could have been.
Was it the taser gun or something else? The officer that used this force was immediately placed on mandatory administrative leave, and the whole department has suspended the use of tasers until they find out what really happened.
All we know that this is not the first time the cops is killing with taser guns.
Turner Hall is where it happened – the student’s name is Everette Howard.
At least the PD stopped the use of tasers. Departments nationwide would be smart to follow suite.
We also need more thorough psychological testing for new deputies, polygraph test when any officer discharges a weapon, and minimum mandatory prison sentences for law enforcement officers who abuse their power.
The police state mentality will only get worse, unless the public rises up and demands change.
But Tasers r supposed to be an non=lethal option. Guess someome forgot to tell those who have been tasered and died. How dare they pass away like that and so inconsiderate they are to the police for dying.
Kind of depends on how the taser is used also. I could assume that if you were hit in a major artery it could stop your heart. Or if hit near the head or neck it could cause brain damage.
Cops get away with way to much
