“Between 2001 and 2008, 351 people in the United States died after being shocked by police Tasers. Our blog has documented another 186 taser-related deaths in the United States in 2009-2012. That means there have been 537 documented taser-related deaths in America. I think that something is wrong in America when the police electrocute folks on a WEEKLY basis with their taser arsenal … and the public is mute in its response. Sometimes it takes a lawsuit … like the one recently settled in Ohio (formerly/http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2011/02/04/Settlement_reached_in_Taser_lawsuit.html) … to get the police to cool it. The police in Cincinnati, Ohio took the hint … they changed their taser policy (formerly/http://www.wlwt.com/news/local-news/cincinnati/Cincinnati-police-make-changes-to-Taser-use-policy/-/13549970/16645316/-/81ae74/-/index.html)!”
