A black man has been tasered by police after he charged at them wielding a golf club

Karl Laventure, 21, was believed to be high on bath salts when he tried to attack the officers in Lilburn, Georgia. And after they had managed to subdue him he began threatening to eat them. Laventure appeared out of some woods and was seen running naked around a golf range near Atlanta, swinging a club around his head and screaming. Police said that it took several officers to subdue the man who had super-human strength. At first, they tried using pepper spray to stop him, but that left him undeterred. They then turned to their Tasers and though that momentarily shocked Laventure to the ground, it did not stop him. A video clip of the arrest shows Laventure lying face down on the ground, shirtless, mumbling disconnected thoughts and threatening to eat the faces of the officers. The video shows him talking about the deceased rappers Biggie and Tupac, making animal sounds, and continuing to threaten the police officers. Though they controlled him enough to force him to a nearby hospital, he attacked one of the nurses on the scene and another fight ensued. His behavior is being blamed on the use of the synthetic drug called bath salts, which was also linked to previous violent outbursts throughout the country. Bath salts, a synthetic amphetamine cocktail known as the new LSD, was the believed drug of choice for fellow African-American Rudy Eugene, who he chewed off homeless man Ronald Poppo's face in Miami.
