What does Granny Clampett say bout tasers ??? I have long warned of the dangers of Tasers potentially causing v-fib or a-fib ending in heart failure without timely medical intervention. A Medical device modified into a weapon wielded by non Medical personnel.
Tasers should be declared "a deadly weapon" by every state to stop their being casually used. An officer could not use one UNLESS using deadly force is otherwise justified.
Oh, THOSE ARE PERFECTLY SAFE, unless you have an underlying condition which we don't give a tinkers damn about, CRIMINAL who deserves to dies anyway. Such as MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY underlying condition. So, the cops with their freewheeling use of deadly force{tazer} have removed my right to free speech. Under penalty of death. Right to free assembly to. Right to equal treatment under the law too. In fact, the cops are threatening my life if I protest. I have a pacemaker.
As of 2014, there had been 634 KNOWN taser deaths. http://electronicvillage.blogspot.com/2009/05/taser-related-deaths-in-united-states.htm That is just known, reported deaths (not required to be reported) nor includes injuries. For example, in on instance the police held a taser to a man's genitals they were literally destroyed with 3rd degree burns. Tasering someone is also torturing someone.
