<<give me a break.. the tasr didn't fire nine times on its own.. the cops or guards pulled the trigger.. investigate them.

i expect the guy would have been beaten to a pulp if not for tasrs.

funny this is a month old and just coming out.. wonder what the delay was in getting it to press. nothing said about the 54 year old man in chicago who died. .. who was bleeding with aids full blown and throwing his blood at the cops. they hit him with a tasr.. nothing said that he was loaded on drugs. found various kinds of drugs on him.. and in him corner said he thinks drugs killed.

tasr best thing to come down for police to avoid getting hurt and hurting some drunk , drug person or hubby or wife out of control... How about the kid three days ago with a sword in his hands , wouldn't surrender.. cops tasr him and got him under control.. before they would have shot him.

no mention here that the national meeting for chiefs of police are going to sign off on tasr.>>

It was an article on why Ohio Count was putting a hold on using TASR....Why would it mention all the other stuff you brought up?? Ohio County putting a hold on the use of TASR's has nothing to do with Chicago, the 54 year old woman, the kid or anything else....If you want news on these other items I suggest calling the company or reuters<g>

And you are correct and proved my point. NO, the TASR did not fire itself 9 times...a HUMAN fired it, and my whole point was that TASR's will be 'mis-used', imo, because just as you said, it takes the human element for misuse to happen and it is pretty obvious humans are not perfect and MANY will misuse this weapon to abuse or torture.....
