SAN ANTONIO - A 35-year-old man died Friday after San Antonio police used pepper spray and a Taser to subdue him.
Officers went to Sergio Galvan's home on the city's South Side before dawn after his wife called 911 several times for help, police said in a story in the San Antonio Express-News online edition.
The woman emerged from the home when police arrived and said she needed help with her husband. Galvan ran from the house, and the officers pursued, police said.
Galvan attacked the officers, police spokesman Lt. Richard Martinez said, prompting them to use pepper spray and a Taser.
But as Galvan was being handcuffed, the officers noticed he was unresponsive. They began cardiopulmonary resuscitation until emergency medical crews arrived, but Galvan was never revived.

"Cops that lie, need to die!" A police officer that lies to get an arrest or send someone to prison should be shot.

Well there are alot of things that are not explained? Did he have a weapon, why did he run, what did he do to his wife and many other conditions which are not explained. It could have been a case of excited delirium and in that case he was as good as dead before his wife ever called 911.
