Every week - no one said they're 100% harmless - the point is they are the least harmful compared to guns, sprays and night sticks - as data has shown. So given the alternatives, as long as they're not abused, it gets rather tiring to hear the false complaints. Seriously, what is the point of a sensational fairly rare taser death - to try and stop there usage and go back to unreported deaths - like the one you claim can occur when cops sit on your tiny frame.

They are not as rare as you would like to think and they will become less rare as more police forces utilize them. Frankly, I think the problem stems as much from the users as the taser themselves. In the article I posted, they said the guy got hit twice with the taser. How much you want to bet it was more than that?
