WAUWATOSA — Wauwatosa police released body-cam video of an incident at the center of a TMJ4 Lighthouse investigation.
It shows what led officers to tase a 37-year-old man at a cemetery last May.
Johnny George went into cardiac arrest and became unresponsive after being tasered. George's wife, Sonny, says this happened during a memorial service at Pinelawn Cemetery after they called 911 for medical help for another person.
