More taser stuff
Increasingly, it’s not a taser problem but a cop problem. The NYT:
TOLEDO, Ohio – Police have suspended their use of stun guns following the death of a suspect who had been shocked nine times.
Lucas County Sheriff James Telb said Wednesday the department will not use Tasers again until more safety studies are conducted. He said his officers have used Tasers about a dozen times since they went into service last year.
Nine times? I’m pretty sure the studies would say chance of death is increased if you shock someone, say, nine times.
