WINNFIELD, La., July 23 (UPI) -- Louisiana authorities are awaiting the results of a state police report before deciding whether to file criminal charges in the Taser death of a handcuffed man.

Baron "Scooter" Pikes, 21, was shocked nine times by officer Scott Nugent after being arrested on a cocaine charge in Winnfield earlier this year, CNN reported Wednesday.

Nugent, who was fired as a result of the incident, may face criminal charges now that Pikes' death has been ruled a homicide.

Winn Parish Coroner Randolph Williams says Pikes was jolted so many times with the 50,000-volt Taser that he might have been dead before the last two shocks were delivered.

Williams said Pikes was handcuffed and on the ground when the stun gun use began.

Nugent's lawyer says his client followed proper procedure in subduing a man who weighed 247 pounds.

When citizens start shooting the cops this shit will stop or a war will ensue ... which already exists but is one sided.

When the cop has the drop on you it's wise to wait for a better opportunity to drop him.

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.

Wow--a hand held electric chair.

I hope in the near future the American Medical Association and, especially, the American Academy of Cardiology will render opinions. I would immagine Taser International would sue them, but somebody needs to take them down. The term agitated delerium that TI and police departments use to blame the dead for their own death has NO medical legitimacy.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. The cop will walk, mark my words.

Hell, he'll probably be rehired after its all said and done...with back pay.
