No, It's why they shouldn't have called the cops. Stop tip-toeing around the kid and get him into somewhere he can be helped.
Which excuses the cops for pulling the trigger?

Anyone who thinks it's okay to use a taser on a 90 pound kid is an idiot.
The kid was already being held by two of the thugs; there was no reason to cause harm to anyone.
The kid was threatening to hurt his own mom and had something that could cause harm (the screwdriver). Use of the stun gun (I assume that means taser) seemed appropriate since the kid (who is legally an adult BTW) was not responding to the parents or cops.
Also, the man was being held down AFTER the stun gun--That is what allowed the cops to get close enough to subdue him.
A taser stun gun used by police is a deadly weapon and has a 10% mortality, about the same as getting shot from a gun.
Anyone who uses a stun gun on a 90 pound kid with or without a screwdriver or wrench is an idiot.
Since you guys apparently know what it's like to be in these situations maybe you should become cops. It's like people criticizing teachers. Become a teacher if it's so easy and cushy.
