Police in Georgia fired a Taser at a man 13 times and caused his death in April because he refused their orders to walk, a new lawsuit has revealed. Gregory Towns died after he was repeatedly Tased by East Point in an effort to make him get up and walk after a chase. "This is a direct violation of their own rules," said Chris Stewart, the attorney for Towns' family. "You cannot use a Taser to escort or prod a subject. ... He wasn't cursing. He wasn't being abusive. He was saying, 'I'm tired.'"
