UPDATE: Freddie Lee Lockett, 30. [LINK]
UPDATE2: Drugs, "excited delirium", getting weird... [LINK]
Few details are being released.
[via TNT] [LINK] [LINK]
The man was a suspect because "he matched the description" of someone involved in an alleged robbery.
Perhaps trying to escape, or perhaps just fearing the police, he ran away.
Now he's dead.
The police did not intend to kill him.
But he's dead.
Taser International (quietly) updated their legal warnings in May 2010. This led Palo Alto to restrict use of tasers to actual violent situations (as opposed to suspects running away).
Obviously Dallas is using stale policy.
Call in the lawyers. Dallas can start looking for their checkbook.
