Dammit, They're Policemen, Not Doctors

Christopher Nielsen had a seizure while driving and drove his car off the road into a landscaping company. When officers from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and Longmont, Colorado, police arrived, they found Nielsen still disoriented. When they asked his name, they could barely hear his response. He did not respond to their commands. So they Tased him. Six times. Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle stands by the officers. "The Taser is not an attractive option. But none of the other options are attractive, either. Had they used batons, I'm sure he would have been hurt," he said.
