"I stuck my head out the window to look out and I saw two police officers shouting at the gentleman and he sort of was stumbling towards them and the police officers warned him they would Taser him, but he just seemed a bit, perhaps, inebriated. "And because he continued to step forward once or twice - non-threatening - they deployed the Taser," she said. "As the Taser hit him in the stomach he just went 'doof', down like a lead balloon."
This is an unfortunate event. I shall not comment until all details have been released. I'm pretty certain, however, that it wasn't some racially motivated thing. All hear SJWs and BLM activists need to do one. They make matters so much worse.
