Guns kill, tasers are supposed to stun. When they kill, there is a problem. Huge bolts of electricity effect different people differently. Its why I am staying out of the stock

Study after study proves the opposite - tasers do not affect the heart. This is another case of fat guy goes nuts and has heart attack, people do this all the time without a taser.

No matter whether you believe the studies or not the fact is tasers when used are involved in far fewer deaths or injuries than the alternative of guns, pepper sprays or metal truncheons. Blows to the head can obviously cause death, tasers have never been shown to cause death - why do you persist in this myth.

This is another example of hyped up sensational news - since the frequency is so rare. Wonder how many folks got killed in car accidents that day caused by alcohol or drugs - not really news.
