From [HERE] On June 15, 2010, Michael White, a 47-year-old Vallejo man, died after police officers tased him while attempting to arrest him inside his home. White is the brother of r&b artist  Jay King. 

White's daughter and her mother are suing the the city of Vallejo, as well as Vallejo Police Chief Robert Nichelini, for wrongful death, claiming that White died because of excessive force.  "The actions of [the police officers] were intentional ... reckless, malicious, deliberately indifferent to [White's] rights," stated the suit, Monday in Sacramento. "[White] did not die from Excited Delirium, but from asphyxiation and excessive or unreasonable tasing."

The police were at White's house to investigate an assault claim. White's neighbor, an elderly woman, had called them after White allegedly assaulted her at her front door. Police claim that when they arrived, White refused to cooperate and locked himself inside another neighbor's bathroom. For some reason police went to use force against him and they claim he resisted restraint. Officers then shocked White with Tasers. White collapsed at some point during the struggle. He died soon after at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Vallejo. The complaint claims that the tasing "lasted several minutes," which it calls "unreasonable long exposure."
