startribune.com — Mark Backlund was driving to the airport to pick up his parents when he got in an accident. State troopers stopped and said he became "uncooperative" and tasered him. He was later pronounced dead. Authorities have not described the uncooperative behavior.

"American society is no longer civil but savage."Just like Sparta (without the coolness).

Go back to AM radio if you don't like Digg. No one invited you anyway.

You're full of s**t, life-saving care isn't denied based on the resources of the individual. You sound like a conspiracy theorist. I'm living in 2008, all my friends have basic healthcare and they range throughout the income spectrum. Moron apologist? America needs a lot of change, but it's definitely not the s**thole you f**kheads make it out to be. Stop reading conspiracy blogs and maybe go out in the daylight occasionally.

War is war, freedom is great, tasers are an improvement in law enforcement, and Bush sucks. f**k off.

Well, now we know that Mark Backlund did not die due to the taser shock. For all you cop haters out there, sorry to disappoint you that Mark Backlund was not killed by a TASER. All you people who called for the banning of this essential law enforcement tool without knowing the facts of the case, well, now you know the facts, and shame on you. <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/world_news/TASER_did_not_cause_the_death_of_Mark_Backlund">http://digg.com/world_news/TASER_did_not_cause_the ...</a>

After an autopsy. IT TURNS OUT YOU ARE ALL WRONG.<a class="user" href="http://wcco.com/local/taser.death.drugs.2.692441.html">http://wcco.com/local/taser.death.drugs.2.692441.h ...</a>Drugs Killed Man Who Died After Being TaseredST. PAUL (AP) ? The death certificate for a Fridley man who was Tasered by State Troopers says he died because of cocaine and other drugs in his system. The death certificate filed on Friday says 29-year-old Mark Backlund died of "consequences of mixed drug use." The drugs in his system included a pain reliever, a drug for schizophrenia, mania, and bipolar disorder. Other factors in his death were physical exertion and restraint, a sedative, inflammation of his heart, and severe hardening of the arteries of his heart. I will take your silence as an apology and admittance to being wrong. Thanks for reading
