Why The Lethality of Tasers At The Hands of Rogue Cops, Needs To Be Exposed and Eradicated

Two American-based Nigerian men have died within three years of each other, at the hands of police officers who exacted a level of brutality that was absolutely not warranted.

These stories of police brutality and the Black victims that pay the ultimate price have become standard news items that filter through timelines with urgent frequency. It’s a realistic expectation to be alerted to a viral offering — featuring uniformed officers hovering over road kill, as the false testimonies describe how the brute on the ground asked for his untimely demise.

The latest headline isn’t getting much attention, but based on the troubling details surrounding the senseless murder of Nigerian-American, Chinedu Okobi, a Bay Area resident and doting father of a little girl — this unbearable tragedy contains all the reasons why law enforcement has to be over-hauled — to halt this uncensored system of deadly force against people of color.
