Harlan argued with officers during a police stop within sight of his house. As friends and family looked on, he was tasered three times for 31 seconds total, lost consciousness, and stopped breathing. The family was awarded $2.5M in an excessive force suit against the city. Their suit against Taser rose to the 8th Circuit. The case inspired the 2015 documentary "Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle" about Taser International and the lethal effects of its product.
