Taser-Killing of Macadam Mason is 'Justified'

Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell says a state trooper was justified in using a stun gun against 39-year old Macadam Mason who died after he was electrocuted by 50,000 volts of taser energy back in June 2012. [SOURCE]

Sorrell declined to bring charges against Trooper David Shaffer who acted as judge, jury and executioner when he electrocuted an UNARMED Mason ... who was reported to be suicidal.

It troubles me that so many UNARMED people are being killed by over-eager use of taser guns around the nation. Am I the only one who is bothered by this trend?

Taser Death: Macadam Mason (Thetford, VT)

It happened again! This time an unarmed 39-year old man with epilepsy was electrocuted to death by a Vermont State trooper for being disrespectful. Macadam Mason needed help. Instead he got 50,000 volts of electricity shot into his body by trooper David Shaffer. Mason stopped breathing and died shortly thereafter. [SOURCE]

Shaffer and his trooper buddies indicate that Mason didn't cooperate when they arrived on the scene.
"He was certainly agitated, failed to comply with the troopers commands," said Colonel Thomas L'Esperance.






Mason was unarmed and not a threat. Why is he dead today?
