Other cops arrive and try to control the guy with tasers. They hit him with the most powerful stuff they have, but he still resists. Finally he just suffers some sort of malady and slumps over and passes out. Emergency personnel fail to revive him and the guy dies at the hospital. Thirty people witnessed the tasering.
That happens like three times a week ... in my hospital lobby.

Okay, so the tasering thing only happened the one time, and we usually manage to allow people to die somewhere else ... but the rest of it, that's an average night.
