three-day "ice" binge before his death

No surprises there.

Have have had a loaded gun pointed at me on several occasions by an intoxicated police officer. 

Had it been me or the war department (lefties both)  he wouldn't have had the opportunity to do it a second time.  Your willingness to permit it speaks volumes.

Here we go.

THE Gilrfriend feels the taser killed him "and that revved up and that psyched that he wouldn't have

been able to take the shock of it. I feel the Taser killed him".

Then you read what else happeed that night.

Ms Waters said she had kicked Mr Norris out of the house just before 9pm when he threatened to kill her.

"He started to be very nasty to me, he pulled my hair, accused me of being with other people," she said.

"He went down to McDonald's and jumped the counter and started on the staff, abusing people and talking about Jesus Christ and all this sort of stuff."

Despite the threats made to her, Ms Waters described Mr Norris as a "beautiful guy".

Of course we have to get the "beautiful guy" in !

"He was a beautiful guy, loving and caring, would do anything for me and my family," she said."

A bloody Angel !

So Donna and everyone else on the outrage bus that has been jumping all over the cops for using a taser that might

have contributed to his death.

Now that it has been shown that it went from being called to a domestic dispute (I'd call it assault during domestic violence) to an assault on McDonalds staff, and knowing full well that someone on Ice can be very very agressive and strong, far stronger than they might normally be, have any of you changed your mind.

Or do you expect the Cops to just get battered and bruised all the time ??????

I would say that the Police knew what he had already done to the GF for them to attend.

Yes, I did have a chuckle at that myself but didn't want to "put down" the girl for being a bit biased.

Can't help being stupid.

Excuse me?   What a disgusting remark.

What do you think I should have done?

Getting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle is not a safe choice either.

There have been many more deaths caused by motor vehicle accidents that taser deaths.

Perhaps people should adjust their perspective to reflect reality.

I just realised the op is more of a community service announcement to dangerous ice addicts.

When you've been on a 3 day bender and you've assaulted your missus and plan on going the staff at maccas, make sure you submit when the capsicum spray comes out because you dont wanna make the police get their tasers out, those things arent safe.

Methinks the OP is more about rightous indignation than anything else 😉
