That said, I can't pull up the vid but it sounds bad.

Maybe not, but that is how departments sold them to the public when they started acquiring them. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that some don't have it coming but this case and others I have seen, show that SOME officers are way to quick to use them.

Re: Justified taze?!? Link fixed

I always felt that TASER's were supposed to be an alternative to deadly force not a means of bending the will of someone else to your own. If the person came out swinging or acting like it, then by all means fire away. I have seen many examples of officers using them when there could have been another way. However I have never walked in their shoes.
