Police Taser a Naked Man to Death to Prevent Him from Harming Himself?

This is the kind of think that is not only sad but incomprehensible!

Show his "hands"? Really?

He's freaking NAKED in the shower!

Disturbing bodycam footage shows police taser a mentally ill man 18 times, while he is standing naked in the shower, before he collapses screaming in pain and dies
WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT
Adam Trammell, 22, died after police tased him 18 times on May 25, 2017
West Milwaukee police were called to his home to do a welfare check
A neighbor called 911 to say that Trammell was naked and threatening self-harm
Police used force to enter his apartment when he didn't open the door
Officers then encountered Trammell naked in his shower
When he failed to respond to orders to show his hands, police tased him 18 times
It took less than 30 minutes from first tase for Trammell to lose consciousness
Within an hour of police arriving, Trammell was pronounced dead
Officers Michael Rohleder and Anthony Munoz won't face charges, DA said

@Moosepantspatty "Disgusting"?

It's absolutely horrible and inhumane!

But because the poor man was mentally ill and not some druggie resisting arrest, the national news media will pay little to no attention about it.

@beckyromero absolutely! Im very troubled that the officers will face no charges over this.

A taser should never be used to subdue someone whos in the water at all! Let alone 18 times! Thats practically guaranteed to be lethal!
