Another TASER death. Sounds really fishy to me

[Horse with no Name]

The guy's son has been in the military, gets out, gets killed leaving behind a young family.
Within a few days, this man has some type of apparent breakdown and gets TASER'ed and dies. Why TASER a man underneath a car? How much harm could he do lying flat on his back underneath a truck? I reiterate my stance on TASERs--if you wouldn't shoot a person you shouldn't TASER a person.
What a horrible story. I'd like to know what really happened. This is one of the crookedest towns in Texas.

The Mexia P.D. reports that two earlier evening calls on Turner were made, who at the time was driving a different vehicle that the one he was driving when last stopped.

Reports add that once stopped, Turner apparently got out of his vehicle, but would not obey commands of an officer. He had apparently gotten down on the ground and got under the driver's side of a pick-up truck. After officers got him from under the vehicle, he had apparently stopped breathing.

The case is currently being investigated by the Limestone County Sheriff's Office, Limestone County District Attorney's Office, and Company F of the Texas Rangers.

Tragically, Turner's son, 24-year old Brandon Turner was killed on October 22nd in a 4-wheeler accident near his home in Montgomery, Texas.
A complete obituary will be published in next week's issue of The Chronicle. Condolences are extended to Turner's many friends and family members.

1. They should have...

hosed him down with OC and waited for him to start crying for his mommy. Tasers are great tools but they aren't really suitable for flushing someone out of a tight space.
