January Body Count: Five Men Die After Being Tasered

"Yes, the carnage caused by miscreants in the ranks of law enforcement sworn to protect and serve the public continues unabated. Obviously using a Taser is appropriate in instances where a gun need not be used, but as we can see, this device can be a lethal weapon, and its use in some situations is highly questionable. From Taser of the Day, which monitors news stories about the device's use."

Taser of the Day

Okay.... One last time... Listen to the Police when they are trying to get control of a situation and you don't get shocked. Resist and pay the piper...

I am good with it..

Did you notice this?
Add drugs to the equation and all bets are off. I've seen one man fight off five full size male cops. Sometimes it takes more than just a strong man. That's what the taser gives them, and it is less deadly than their night stick, fists, maglight, or gun.
Agreed. I experienced it first hand. Back in the late 70's my friend was a PG cop and I went on a ride along with him. We went to this house in Clinton by Tanglewood park for a disorderly person. We encountered the guy about 5'8" 140lbs and he was tough for his size. My friend and another cop were hitting him with their night stick but it didn't faze him. Finally the three of us got him to the ground and cuffed him. By the way, I'm all for tasers. The drugs had nothing to do with his heart stopping I'm sure. RIGHT!

No, I'm just making the point; IF they've checked and he isn't armed but later gets violent.

Kind of splitting hairs aren't you? The cops don't need to be getting injured while trying to subdue a criminal. That would make them kind of useless at that point.

All police officers get tasered! Some I know 2 or 3 x. They all get tased as part of the training in the LESS than lehthal weapon.

Try some objective sources.
