Have any of you ever seen a person have a grand mal seizure? You have to pretty fucking retarded to not know a person is having a seizure. Honestly, I am all for police having the proper devices to protect themselves, but in this case, I think they were just irritated that the kid was flailing about.

Haire contacted an investigator with the Texas Municipal Intergovernmental Risk Pool, which insures city governments against lawsuits. Haire said the investigator told him that a check of the Taser shows it was fired 15 times within five or six minutes that day.

I would say that is a tad bit excessive considering the kid is under 18 and isn't a serious threat to the medical personnel/cops. He has no weapons. The reason you aren't supposed to strap them down is because it injures them while seizing. They will literally jerk so hard that they will have strap marks all over their body. If they really wanted to strap him down, fine; but don't use your damn taser when you can't get the kid to hold still and stop throwing fists.

Now if he had just had a seizure a couple of minutes prior, I can understand where the officers would have been confused. People act very strangely after seizures. My brother acts like a 5 month old baby after a seizure. He loses all verbal skills, can't talk, is very disoriented, stares off, cries, and then falls asleep for 6 hours. This kid just could have gone psycho afterwards.

All in all, I think the police officers who tasered him should apologize, take a first aid medical course (they talk about seizures in first aid), and that be the end of it. Also, if a minor doesn't have a weapon, is it really necessary to use a taser? I don't really think it is.
