Would it have killed them to wait until after the funeral for their zapping fun?...

The cops must have been tipped off that he was going to switch places with his father to evade the law.

The best part is how his first thought was that it was a drug deal gone wrong. I prefer to get my drugs at military retirement ceremonies.

Brother-in-law: "Everybody was so scared. We thought it was a drug deal gone bad."
Russ: "Shaddup, already! Ain't I got enough to contend with?"

The only thing missing in this story is a moblile home in the middle of the road.
Relatives said two deputies dressed in coats and ties grabbed Russ and kneed him in his back before using a Taser on him.
At least the deputies were dressed nice. So many people these days don't respect the dead.
One deputy's gun fell out of its holster.
No comment needed.
"Everybody was so scared. We thought it was a drug deal gone bad," said Ronnie Simmons, another pallbearer and Russ' brother-in-law.
Because you were expecting a drug deal??

And out of respect for the deceased they made sure he was wearing a black eye.

Well, that would certainly cast a pall over the proceedings.
