Kaukauna, WI man dies after being tasered.
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20110807/GPG0101/108070639/Nude-man-s-death-Kaukauna-investigated?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

The Appleton Police Department is investigating what led to the Saturday morning death of a man Kaukauna police attempted to subdue with a Taser after he ran naked through the streets of downtown Kaukauna.

Kaukauna police received a call about 5 a.m. Saturday that someone was yelling for help in the 200 block of W. Wisconsin Avenue.

On the way to the scene, officers spotted a nude man running south on the Lawe Street Bridge, toward the intersection of Crooks Avenue and Main Street.

Police said the man behaved strangely when officers approached him, possibly exhibiting signs of a drug overdose.

1. It's so good the taser is not a lethal weapon, for if it were, lots of people would die, considering

it's use at the slightest whim or provocation. :patriot:

Edite to add an ' and a phrase
