Marvin Booker tasered, last words, "I can't breathe..."

A fifth deputy put Booker in a headlock just as the female deputy began shocking him with a Taser with encouragement from one of the deputies, who kept repeating, "Probe his ---," Maten said. He could hear the Taser crackle repeatedly. Booker said, "'I can't breath...," Yedo heard. Then, Booker went limp.

He never moved again.

Tasered. Can't breathe. Dead. A very familiar pattern.

To be fair, the news report also mentions "headlock". It's either the taser, or the headlock, or a fairy tale of coincidental death from unrelated pre-existing conditions.

  1. Yeah, but, he was just an inmate. Good people don't end up in jail, and anyone in jail -especially for drug paraphenalia - deserves to be electrocuted to death, right?

  2. They'll probably choose option 3, the fairy tale about how he was coincidentally dying all by himself at that exact moment.
