Homicide by taser in Denver jail

July 19th, 2010

Another apparent homicide by tasering, this time by jail guards who gave high fives after the tasering.

But deputies at the new Denver jail told him to stop. When Booker, who was being processed on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia, didn’t obey, he was held down, hit with electric shocks and then placed facedown in a holding cell, according to two inmates who watched it unfold.

Booker never got up. He was pronounced dead later that morning.

When will they say that too many people have died?
