A law was broken, driving drunk is illegal. Being drunk in public is illegal. When he wakes up in 5 mins will he be sober and fine to drive away? Where is MADD demonstrating against drunk drivers and people thinking it is okay to drive while drunk or even tipsy? The mayor of Atlanta and all who are demonstrating need to lose someone from a drunk driver, it is illegal to drive drunk, period. If he had gotten away with the taser in his hand, car jacked a car and killed someone what would everyone have said then?
Also just saw on news that in Georgia a stun gun with a projectile is considered under the law as a deadly weapon and requires a handgun license. Do not like the taking of a life and it is a tragedy but putting yourself in danger of losing your life for being drunk is on each person.
