LOS ANGELES — A man running naked in the street died after he was shocked with a stun gun by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.

Deputies answering a disturbance call in suburban Lakewood at about 10:15 p.m. Saturday saw a man running naked in the street and acting irate, Deputy Keith Ho said. They tried to calm the man but he remained belligerent. When he advanced toward the deputies, Ho said they hit him with pepper spray and a taser electric stun gun.

Ho said after the man was handcuffed, deputies realized he wasn't breathing. They began CPR and paramedics were called but the man was pronounced dead at a hospital.

His identity hasn't been released, and the death is under investigation.

Canada's national police force, the RCMP, says that tasers are potentially lethal and can cause death.

Taser International denies this, except through external factors.

They can't both be right. One view matches the reality and explains the news. The other is obviously just a legal strategy to avoid liability.

Time for the LAWSUITS!!!!!
