et: Seems to me that by calling the Tazer a "safe" way to enforce compliance from us mere Citizens, it is inevitable that some of us will, in fact, be "tortured," and someone, sooner or later, is going to be killed. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...t_x.htm?csp=34 "PHOENIX (AP) — There were 103 Taser stun gun-related deaths in the United States and Canada between June 2001 and March 2005, according to an Amnesty International report released Friday. In the first three months of this year, there were 13 Taser-related deaths — compared with six during the same period last year, the report said. The stun guns have been touted as less lethal than other ways of subduing combative people in high-risk situations, but Tasers have come under increasing scrutiny as a number of deaths have been blamed, at least partially, on the devices. "No confrontation is risk free. The Taser is the safest way to end violent confrontations for law enforcement," Taser International Inc. President Tom Smith said Thursday." http://www.azcentral.com/specials/sp...les/0718taser- main18.html http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/j...guns_9-15.html http://www.democracynow.org/article..../02/25/1455244 Oh, hell, put Taser Deaths into Google and see for yourselves. How many hundreds do the cops have to kill before it becomes a "lethal weapon"? Larry -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEJmc...elated&search= |
