The Anchorage Daily has a multimedia report on what can happen when a cop over-reacts.
There are three re-enactment videos but the audiotape of this encounter is especially gripping. Two State Troopers go to investigate a man sitting in his car. The man is lucid and coherent. He's half-paralysed though and doesn't respond quickly enough. He gets pepper-sprayed. Less than ten seconds after that he gets shot four times.
The entire encounter takes 58 seconds.
Oh, and it was ruled justifiable. Scary.
