Pennsylvania Cop Who Killed Man by Shooting Him in Back While Tasering Him Acquitted
Panicked that he was reaching for a gun, a Pennsylvania cop repeatedly tasered a man as he lay facedown in the snow, sending him into convulsions while yelling at him to stop moving.
When the man would not stop convulsing, Hummelstown police officer Lisa Mearkle shot him twice in the back, killing him.
Earlier today, a jury acquitted the 37-year-old police officer after viewing her body cam footage of the February 2, 2015 incident.
The video shows a complete overreaction on her part as there was no indication David Kassick even had a gun.
