Can't speak for anyone else, but I can manage to go out in public and NOT get tasered....
Keep in mind that every police officer carrying a taser is a living testiment to the fact being tasered won't kill you, unless you have a bad heart or drugs in your system, in which case you should have listened.....

The way he was acting out, maybe a chemical inbalance/medical?

Either way, no disrespect to the dead, but if you comply you don't have to worry about these things. Notice the average citizen doesn't have to complain about these things. It would be unfortunate however if it was a case of mental instability that led to his behavior, but a taser alone will not kill you. Remember every cop that has one has been tased him/herself.
