Virginia Cops Tased & Handcuffed Man 20 Times In 30 Minutes Before He Died!

Police in South Boston, Virginia broke their own rules and Tased a man multiple times, then reneged on a planned trip to the hospital, before he died in their custody. Newly-released footage shows three officers using the devices against 46-year-old Linwood Lambert while he was handcuffed both in front of a local hospital and in a patrol car. The Tasers were used 20 times over the course of a 30-minute period. However, the department’s rules state that Taser use “is no longer justified once the subject has been restrained,” as Linwood was during the May 4, 2013 encounter. Police refused to turn over footage of Lambert’s encounter to his family until his sister, Gwendolyn Smalls, filed a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit against the department. No one has been arrested in connection with Lambert’s death. Posted By Persist
