Man dies in custody. Tasered 5 times in 43 seconds

Stumble This*** I FOUND THIS VERY DISTURBING. ***
In Gwinnett County, Georgia, an un-edited police videotape shows 31-year-old Deacon Frederick Williams being struck with a TASER five times in 43 seconds, just 4 minutes after being led into the jail.
He was handcuffed behind his back and in leg restraints, following an epileptic seizure at his home; an ambulance was called by his wife and son, but the police arrived first. His last words were: "Don't kill me, man. Don't kill me."

I don't believe these cops are that dumb. It sounds to me like they are using "stop resisting" as some sort of safe word to keep them out of trouble. If they SAY he was resisting then their actions MUST be justified.
I can't list how many times I've seen cops fabricate "probable cause" like that, I wonder if they teach that in official police training.
reminds me of http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Boondocks-Gas-Station-Robbery
The cops killed another black man in "america", something tells me that won't make the front page.
That was allowed to stay because it was a lengthy controversial film of news-worthy events surrounding the death and was clearly attempting to educate as many people as possible about them.
This video is very similar in purpose and is not merely a short, "fun" clip of a man losing his life. It is for this reason that I will *return.
