September 19, 2007 Tasers on "Kill" Posted by Mike Tennant at September 19, 2007 09:44 AM Also from Drudge comes this outrage: A wheelchair-bound schizophrenic was waving knives and a hammer at her sister's family and police (after they were called to the scene). The cops' solution? Taser her 10 times in the space of two minutes. The result? Homicide, which is how the medical examiner ruled the woman's death as a result of the tasering. The family is suing the police deparment, and rightly so, although it means innocent taxpayers are now going to have their wallets tasered to pay first for the murder of the woman and second for court costs and the defense costs of the police department (and third if the case is ruled in favor of the plaintiffs). How much you wanna bet the cops are found not guilty or, at best, slapped on the wrist? They really ought to be tasered.
