A gay porn actor named Dustin Michaels (check out his Twitter here ) is dead following a tragic run-in with Florida cops. Dustin reportedly got into an altercation with a female friend late one night last week, prompting police to respond to the scene — and when they did, he panicked because he was holding marijuana and swallowed the bag. Thinking he was resisted arrest, the cops decided to taser the dude, causing him to begin choking on the bag. Attempts to remove the bag from his throat proved fruitless, and by the time paramedics arrived and freed the object from Dustin’s throat, he had suffocated to death.

So weed kills — when the cops get in the way. The war on drugs has claimed another victim. A camera crew was on the scene and captured a disturbing video of the altercation, but please note it’s not a fun one to watch. This is really fucking sad:
