RKZen, based on what you've said about your health conditions, if you were zapped, it was with the old-style, not the current TASER device being used on the streets.
Everybody drops for the taser (if both hooks are seated), where pepperspray cans carry warnings about not working on out of control psychiatric patients.
LJ, you weren't in a position to see all of what was going on at the van, and don't know what occured before the police got him stopped. If they're using the TASER, there's a reason. I deal with a lot of people who should be tased, but many of whom aren't. The picture of police as slavering anthropoids who get off on inflicting harm and playing power and control games is very, very wrong.
Stop thinking like a hippie. I know it's hard, but give it a shot every now and again.
