Minutes after a handcuffed man was shocked to death by Taser guns in front of his family by Georgia police officers, cops high-fived each other and reassured themselves that they wouldn’t lose their jobs, chilling new police video shows.

The cops’ callous reaction was captured on body cam footage that shows the November death of Chase Sherman, 32, who was Tasered 15 times by two Coweta County Sheriff’s deputies after having a psychotic episode from “spice,” or synthetic marijuana, in the back of his family's rental car.

“You actually see a man get tortured to death for four minutes,” L. Chris Stewart, the Sherman family’s attorney, told the Daily News, a day after he viewed the horrific video for the first time. Sherman's family have fought for the video's release in an attempt to bring charges against officers

Moments after Sherman dies, as his stunned family stands on the side of the highway, cops are heard fearing for their jobs.

“Dude, I’m f--king fired, man,” one panicked officer says to another cop.

Naw, you’re good,” the other officer reassures him with a smirk, one of the two body cam videos show. Sometime after Sherman's body is loaded into the ambulance, two officers are seen high-fiving (at the 9:25 mark in the Daily News edited video.)

“It’s absolutely horrific. It’s probably one of the most interesting case studies in how officers react in situations like this,” Stewart said.

After tussling with the cops for a few minutes, Sherman relents and declares “O.K. I’m dead, I’m dead” and “I quit, I quit.”

The two sheriff’s deputies, identified as Samuel Smith and Joshua Sepanski, continue shocking him with Taser guns and sit on his back while he is handcuffed and face down on the floor of the car.

Sherman is heard crying in anguish as EMTs and police officers sit on top of him: “I got all the weight on the world on him now,” an EMT is heard saying in the footage.

5. If an averge citizen killedanother person in this way; where would they be right now?

Their bond would be so high that an "average citizen" could not afford to be released from jail. And BTW, they would lose their jobs too!
