[url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/08/us/florida-taser-death/index.html#cnn-disqus-area]Linky[/url] Florida police taser a teen for resisting arrest. The police usually shoot and this time they used what is usually suppsed to be a non lethal approach and the teen still dies. The kid should've just listened to the officers.
What now, ban tasers?

This is stunning news, OP.

Edited by Funkbrotha10: 8/9/2013 9:55:47 AMthat sucks I guess. he probably shouldn't have resisted arrest. thousands of people are tased every day and are fine 5 seconds later. Its still a very safe and effective tool I myself have personally tased at least 400 people, both with touch-stun and fired-probe varieties. All of them have been perfectly fine as soon as it stopped

[quote]until he was cornered[/quote] Couldn't they have just grabbed him though?

[quote]540 deaths since 2001.[/quote] So the police have killed 540 innocent people with tasers, and yet nothing is being done about it?

Tasers are racist

[quote]What now, ban tasers?[/quote] No, we legalize beating the shit out of them with night sticks as an alternative.

Little shitbag should have done as he was told after being caught vandalising someones property.

You would ban a taser with a small kill rate but you wouldn't bother with banning guns? American logic.

[quote] What now, ban tasers?[/quote] No. Ban their unnecessary usage. Nothing like electrocuting a teenager because he put some paint on a wall.
-
Non lethal for an adult a full grown human they arnt tested for kids.
-
Nope officers know the risk with tasers. It can be non lethal.
-
Police dies from being hit by laser.
-
It happens. We just move on and keep using tasers. You can't expect the police force to ban them because one person was unfortunate enough to die from it. Plus there are probably other variables that played into this.
-
After reading that I have to admit I'm in shock!
-
Ban electricity.
-
Ban OP
-
Ban police
-
Cops probably just though they caught the guy. When they realized the true damage, tey were probably a bit more serious.

[quote]What now, ban tasers?[/quote] No. Better. [spoiler]We ban teens.[/spoiler]
