Awake Goy Officers can be seen tasing Linwood Lambert, 46, multiple times while he is handcuffed, outside of a hospital where the officers had initially taken him for medical help.
The incident happened in May 2013 in South Boston, a town of 8,000 in southern Virginia, but it is receiving renewed attention after a report aired Wednesday on MSNBC.
According to a medical examiner’s report, Lambert died after going into cardiac arrest. The cause of death was listed as “acute cocaine intoxication” and the manner of death as an accident.
