Hey Jim, my thoughts and prayers with all the parties involved. Based on the story above, I think the boys were trying to do the right thing, but they had been drinking, and their judgement was impaired. Yelling at the EMTs about who to take care of can cause more harm than good in these situations, especially since the EMTs are trained and sober, and the boys weren't. The taser was probably overkill by the officers, but he was resisting, so it really was a judgment call. I they prosecute the persons responsible for this horribly unfortunate event to the fullest extent. Take care.
