No matter what the company says (and they have nine million doctors and seven million lawyers saying the Taser doesn’t kill people), I’m not at all sure I could withstand being Tasered.

I’ve also been following the case of a man Tasered in the customs area at Vancouver airport. The man died, and I believe the Taser was fired 5 times for whatever reason. It seems like another tragedy, but the facts seem very confusing.

It does seem like a few too many police officers shoot (or stun) first, and ask questions later.
