I remember a case from years ago, where an unarmed and handcuffed man was tasered to death in Canada.

Constable Millington tasered Dziekański. He began to convulse and was tasered several more times after falling to the ground, where the four officers pinned, handcuffed, and continued to taser him. One eyewitness, who recorded the incident on her cellphone, told CBC News that Dziekański had been tasered four times. "The third and fourth ones were at the same time" delivered by the officers at Dziekański's right and left, just before Dziekański fell.[12][16] According to B.C. Crown counsel spokesman Stan Lowe, Dziekański was tasered a total of five times.[3] Constable Millington testified that he deployed the Taser four times, but he believed that in some of those instances the probes may not have contacted Dziekański's body.[17] Dziekański writhed and screamed before he stopped moving. Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson stated he then checked for a pulse, but his heart had stopped. Testimony from the other RCMP officers state they never saw anyone including Robinson check for a pulse.[18] Dziekański did not receive CPR until paramedics arrived on the scene approximately 15 minutes later. They were unable to revive him and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Go team USA  Shocked " The home of the free and the brave" WTF Huh

The USA police are paid to protect the citizens not to kill them, amazing! Now the united states of america is not more the home of freedom (for a long time).

I am afraid that was in the olden days  Smiley they are now paid by bankers and the elite of the world to protect nothing but their own interests which is sad time for humanity and only a matter of time before changes will happen because the people will have to stand up to it before it is to late

I hear an officer saying "drop the gun", but can't see if the guy actually had a hold of one of their sidearms or not.  You could hear the taser going off that the one officer can be seen holding, so it would be unlikely that the guy on the ground was threatening them with a gun while being tased.  Terrible, terrible, but remember what South Park taught us:

Out of the recent shootings from the US police this has to rank the worse, at the time they shot the guy was on the ground.  If he was going for the officers gun the officer should have moved.  Very scary wouldnt be surprised if we see riots.

How can three cops not control one man? The police are incompetent, paranoid and lazy. Its just easier to shot people than wrestle then into hand-cuffs.

A gun can change the equation very easily.
He went for one of their guns.

But Jose Gil, 38 , said he saw the man swinging at the police and then heard one of the officers say, “Gun, gun, he's got my gun!” before police fired multiple shots.

Quote
Another witness, who asked not to be identified, said the man punched and kicked the officers and reached for one of their service weapons before the officers fired at least seven times.

Very scary! This man was beaten by multiple armed officers, tased, then murdered like a wild animal:( If the police are this evil in broad daylight in front of all these people watching and videotaping, I can't imagine how they'd act in the dark with no witnesses! My God, this is the United States!!! I don't think the guy that was trying to incite a riot should get any praise, however, seems like he was deliberately trying to make things even worse:( This had nothing to do with the color of this man's skin, the fact that he was poor, his record---he was gunned down!

First Exclusion Ever
Sorry, I didn't mean human being there. I meant, a cop doesn't just kill another person for nothing. They only fight back or attack , if they are threatened or are fired at,.

This is extremely naive. Police are humans. Humans kill people often without being attacked or in self defense. Putting a badge on a human does not magically make them infallible.

I am sure there must have been some reason for such a behaviour. No one just kills another human being for nothing.
No offense, but this is the most childish thing I've seen today. How old are you?

We know that isn't true. There are too many cases of police brutality.
I think what happens is they never take any risk. If there is a 1% chance of them being harmed they will shot and kill others. : /
