This is not an accident. When you fire a taser the body loses control and thus you cant balance and you fall. Saying otherwise its like saying it's ok to shoot people if you do not know it will kill them.

This is a case manslaughter and if this man is not brought to trial it will only serve to weaken trust in tasers. It is only a matter of time before they are known as little more than cop toys instead of a life saving substitute for pulling the sidearm.

Tasers are not a substitute for a firearm. They are a lesser force option. Their primary goal is not to be lethal, a firearm on the other hand is. What part of that don't you understand?

Um no. They are not playtoys for police forces. The point of being nonlethal is so that the officer does not have to kill to stop an action.

They are NOT I repeat NOT supposed to be used as some kind of replacement for wresting a drunk idiot to the ground. Yet yall keep thinking they are just fine for that. And thus it is only a matter of time before real cops that actually try to do their job (You know, serving the public instead of serving a multitude of shocks for absolutely no reason) will lose these lifesaving weapons. Or get so many restrictions on them they will fear to pull it and may pull a firearm because the resulting crap may be far worse than a kill on your mind for the rest of your life.

What I am not understanding is why have you not confirmed to me that you have informed your department of your comments in this topic?

Zachstar...you are now going after the individual. Not allowed.
