For tasers supposedly being safe...there are an aweful lot of deaths!!!!!!!!!! In the beginning they explained the deaths away by saying the person probably had cocaine or some other kind of drug in their system at the time they were tasered..BUT I hardly think with all the deaths that have occurred this is the case...I don't think they studied these tasers very well before they began to use them!!!!!!!
Not to mention they should be used as a last resort as an alternative to lethal force...BUT they seemed to be being utilized for standard arrest and control....That's akin to pulling out one's gun each time someone is arrested....Something definitely needs to be done...NOT just on an individual basis...BUT on a national basis!!!!!!!!!
