what's ASL for "don't tase me bro"?

[rone]

Donnell Williams had just gotten out of the bath tub, wearing only a towel around his waist, when he turned the corner to see guns pointing right at him. [...] Without his hearing aid he is basically deaf. [...] Officers were worried about their own safety because at the time it appeared Williams was refusing to obey their commands to show his hands.  That's when they shot him with a Taser.

Once the facts were all sorted out, officers repeatedly apologized to Williams. Police wish it never happened, but with the information they had at the time, their choices were limited.

Were they that limited? This sort of shit doesn't go down in Australia. I hope.

A word of advice to them: "don't be so fucking trigger happy on the taser, and this sort of shit doesn't happen"
