Man subdued with Taser doing well

Police in Murray used a Taser on Monday to subdue a man they thought was responsible for a bank robbery. Bank employees pointed to the man as the suspect, but police quickly learned that the the 20-year-old was not only innocent but mentally disabled. The man was waiting for a bus near the Wells Fargo bank at 6100 S. State Street when the branch was robbed around 5 p.m. Coincidentally, the man was wearing a bright orange shirt and blue hat - the same as the robber, said bank employees. Carol Sisco with the state Division of Child and Family Services said the man was doing well Tuesday and understands that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The bank robber is still at large. - Michael N. Westley
 
Yeah, that'd be a great lawsuit :thumb:

Poor guy though, I mean, I wonder was he even able to fully comprehend what was happening to him, I could just imagine how horrible that must have been for him :(

But why was he tazed? Was he resisting arrest? I doesnt say. Oh and yeah I know that hes mentally handicapped.
They may have been in fear that he was carrying a weapon. Tazering would be the easiest way to arrest the guy without havin a standoff. Can't blame the cops, they see a risk and deal with it, just coincidence that he was wearin the same clothes.
