7:04Now PlayingCenk Uygur () host of The Young Turks discusses a mentally ill woman in Virginia who was shackled and tasered leading to her ultimate demise.
"A mentally ill woman, Natasha McKenna, has died in police custody in Fairfax, Virginia after receiving four taser blasts to her back. McKenna was in police custody for two days before she was shackled and left unattended. She was finally ready to be moved when her deteriorating mental state caused her to begin resisting police and screaming, whereas the police responded by six Sheriff's deputies putting on full biohazard suits and attempting to place her in a restrained wheel chair. When she wouldn't bend her knees to sit in the chair McKenna was tasered, allowing her to be restrained in the chair. Within minutes of being shocked McKenna stopped breathing and CPR efforts were fruitless in attempting to revive her. She was revived three times in an ambulance before finally being pronounced deceased. Officials are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the actual cause of her death.
The manufacture of the TASER device warns against using the stungun on persons with 'excited delirium'."
