Bad Timing Agree / Disagree
Read the article below. Do you think what the officers did was justifiable? I don’t. Granted the guy had a warrant for is arrest but the officers should have waited until the funeral was over. Do you agree or disagree?
WILMINGTON, N.C. - Five sheriff's deputies will be disciplined after they used a Taser while serving an arrest warrant on a man at his father's funeral.
Gladwyn Taft Russ III was serving as a pallbearer at the service last Saturday and was loading his father's casket into a hearse when the undercover deputies approached him.
Relatives said two deputies dressed in coats and ties grabbed Russ and kneed him in his back before using a Taser on him. One deputy's gun fell out of its holster.

I read your post right up to thie part, "...Relatives said...".
I come from stock that has had more than its fair share of run-ins with the police. I personally know that anything after "Relatives said" is highly suspect because I too have "said" stuff.
I'd be interested in hearing how this turns out though.

Well the officers were "disciplined" - that's how it is turning out
I find it interesting that a comment in the report is "we thought it was a drug deal gone bad".
Now why in the HELL would that be the first freakin thought that enters your head? OH... Maybe because your brother in law is a known drug traffiker, and you have probably been involved in it all somewhere along the way.
Now - that being said - they could have waited. Yes - there is a risk of flight, but if you have a handful of officers there worth a crap, they would be able to tail and corner him if he were to deviate from the procession. It's a good sting idea to show up at a funderal, actually - just poorly executed.

meanwhile your dead dad flops out and goes rolling down the pavement or grassy hillside - in front of a hundred fellow mourners, who in turn all sue YOUR *** for causing them mental trauma... and then there's all the children.
Yeah, that's a GREAT idea

They should have waited, but I don't know how much of a scumbag the guy is. The cops used bad judgment either way, but unless they are crazy he must have done some bad chit to make them want to do that.
