Quote:the man has just been Tased 2 times and likely had little control over his nervous system.

Speaking as someone who was hit with a Taser in college as part of a project for a justice studies course, you regain control almost instantly when the current is cut off. It does leave you disoriented for a few seconds, so just how out of control Sterling was is up for debate.


What's not up for debate is that he was immobilized on the ground, his hands were pinned and a gun was removed from his pocket by a cop after the fact, not found lying on the ground. And somehow shooting him five times from inches away was necessary.
