Gordon Black, a Bennington County attorney hired to look into the incident, told town officials in a report that police were hasty in turning to the stun guns when confronted with the protest by Jonathan Crowell, 32, and Samantha Kilmurray, 32, both of West Dummerston.

A lawyer for the two says he'll soon file suit against the town over the incident."

Black reviewed user manuals from the Taser manufacturer, affidavits, arrest reports, supplemental statements from the officers involved, a sworn statement from a witness and a YouTube video of the incident before issuing his 13-page report to the town Tuesday.
