AZ Medical deaths

Two nurses at a juvenile jail are now charged with murder because they skipped exams and falsified medical records on a seventeen year old who spent his last days in agony lying on a concrete bed. He died of a burst appendix. The women face charges of third degree murder and aggravated manslaughter of a child.

A sixty-two-year-old man who cannot move without a wheelchair due to epilepsy, arthritis, spinal and nerve damage and stroke-related problems is ordered to walk to the cell door to be cuffed with hands behind him. Upon his refusal, due to his condition, he's zapped with a laser gun, gassed and pepper sprayed in his eyes. Is this necessary?
