TRIBUNE-REVIEW (Saturday, August 23, 2008) - A North Braddock man shocked awake while sleeping on his couch by police officers using a taser gun has reached a settlement Friday... North Braddock officials agreed to pay Shawn Hicks...
... $100,000.
Hicks said he came home around 2 a.m. on July 28, 2007, and fell asleep in the living room of his Stokes Avenue home. Less than an hour later, according to the lawsuit, Officers Gerald Kraly and Lukas Lauricia came inside the house and repeatedly shocked Hicks with the taser, even after verifying his address on his driver's license. ...

Attorney Paul Krepps, who represented North Braddock, said, "The defendants are not admitting any wrongdoing."
Well, the $100k check is more than sufficient admission in itself. But thanks for the amusing attempt at spin.
So what exactly goes on during taser training? Are the trainees' brains extracted at the start of the taser training session, or towards the end?
