NYT story with quite a bit more complete context, but there's still a little gap in the footage of their story. See if you can spot it:
- He was in a verbal disagreement with employees
- One of the employees punched him in the face
- His family and the police show up simultaneously
- His wife gives him his 1-year-old child to hold
- ???
- He and police are fighting
I want to see the bodycam footage

Just for context - this is what his side of the story is, it's not "fact" yet.

Tasers just let cops shoot people without pulling out thier gun. They don't need to bother with de-escalation when a "non lethal" weapon can do it for them.
