| Quote: | Two North Braddock police officers won't face criminal charges for Tasering a man who was asleep at home. But the FBI will review the incident for possible civil rights violations.
Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. says county police determined Officers Gerard Kraly and Lukas Laeuricia (loo-REE'-see-uh) didn't commit a crime when they Tasered Shawn Hicks, who was sleeping on his couch.
Police came to Hicks home because they were alerted by a silent security alarm at his home about 2 a.m.
Hicks says the officers Tasered him again after he woke up and showed them ID to prove he lived at the home. Hicks' attorney says he will pursue civil action. |

Since they cannot use their bang sticks as freely as they would like, they have found a new way--the Taser.

I was still surprised that there were people on OTL virtually defending those actions. How much more info does one need to know than the fact that they tased this guy several times in his own house, once when he was sleeping?
