Of course you have links to prove your numbers - which I've already seen and you're wrong as usual - running on your feelings and the number or frequency of news events which publish every incident giving it the appearance of common. No, I don't have links to prove my point. My point is that taser deaths and injuries are not as rare as you believe. If you doubt that premise, look at how many lawsuits have been dismissed or paid off in the past two years by TASR. Again, they will likely increase as the taser becomes more common. That is only logical and doesn't require a link. The guy hit twice from eye witness accounts, but always the suspicious mind regarding police from any country you doubt the witnesses. Its not a suspicious mind......I've seen what cops do first hand. In the early 90s, cops were beating a Latino in front of my house. A small man....he was surrounded by 5 cops who were using their batons to beat him a la Rodney King. The Latino was not putting up a fight but rather was trying to protect himself. I went outside to see what was happening. A cop approached me and told me to go back into the house. I asked what are you doing to that man? He said it was none of my business and if I didn't want to be next, I should go into the house. At the time, I was in a bad place in my life and did not need any more trouble. I complied with the cop's command. That kind of incident happens all to frequently in LA and other cities....fortunately, for the cops, there are people like you who turn a blind's eye to it. It also said he died shortly after being handcuffed - perhaps those are what killed him - hmmmm, struggling uselessly against handcuffs seems to be a common theme in these incidents. At least to you......who knew that struggling against handcuffs could kill.
