Cops always claim tasers are non-lethal. You think they can now
suddenly claim they are lethal and get a court to accept that. THAT
will be an interesting discussion in court.




While most of the time the tasers are not leathal, there have been
some that have died from them.

I met an ex cop that said he was fired mainly because he used a taser
on someone and they died. That was around 30 years ago.

I think they have been sort of improved now to be safer.

It doesn't seem to matter whether they step on thier necks or taser
them, if they have a heart attack while subdued they'll charge the cops
with murder.

I've got think some have stroked out just being cuffed knowing all those
wants and warrants just came home to roost. Chemical cocktails and adrenaline
overload can be unhealthy.

Yes, it is very uncomfortable being cuffed, I suppose even moreso if
'musclebound' and a rush of adrenaline might come from the realization
that you might be going back to prison, especially if you were just
recently released.

People are too quick to blame the cops IMO. Won't even wait until trial
to declare "Bad Cop" and demand immediate justice A.K.A a lynching.
Lynching is what the cops did to Brooks. He didn't get a trial and
he's DEAD. The cops would just end up either behind a desk, off with
pay (suspended) or possibly fired - and jailed if found guilty of
murder.

What BS. This guy resisted arrest, attacked cops and turned and pointed
what is potentially a lethal weapon at them. It can also put an eye out.
Are you gonna volunteer your eyes for some scumbag to shoot at? Give us
a break. He died of stupidity.

I think it was the other cop that shot him. His logical defense could be
that he didn't know what the perp had stolen from his fellow officer,
that he thought it could have been his pistol and when the perp spun around
and pointed something at him, he did his job.
