So far I only know of one case where the TASER could be directly linked to a death (the one where the victim had doused himself in gasoline and there was a spark from the TASER). <br><br>The 70 or so deaths that Amnesty keeps talking about are incidents where an indvidual has been hit with a TASER and then later (up to a week later) died. However, what most fail to mention is that in nearly all these cases the TASER was used in combination with physical force (and in some cases even gunfire) where the subject had to be physically restrained AFTER the TASER had been used (ie after the person was cuffed they continued to fight the officers). You might also want to look at how many of the victims were under the influence of narcotics. I hear coke and meth is REAL good for the ol' ticker. And while you're at it, look into the studies on excited delirium.<br><br>So far there have been at least 50 civil suits against TASER (from next of kin etc) but TASER remains undefeated in court as no-one has been able to show that the TASER was to blame.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tributal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2007 7:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Taser's Shockwave 6-shooter makes Harry Callahan look like a princess]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</guid><description><![CDATA[WTS: [Tazer Shockwave]: AoE Cone, Stuns Foe, 5% of lethal damage. 500s PST]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GuyJ86]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2007 8:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Taser's Shockwave 6-shooter makes Harry Callahan look like a princess]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just in time for the RNC Convention.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2007 8:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Taser's Shockwave 6-shooter makes Harry Callahan look like a princess]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder what layer of clothing thickness would be needed to stop Taster probes.<br>They simply couldn't be launched any faster than 300~ 400 feet per second so I think burlap should work.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2007 9:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Taser's Shockwave 6-shooter makes Harry Callahan look like a princess]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</guid><description><![CDATA[I demand proof!<br>Here, put this burlap shirt on while I surround you with shockwave six shooters...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2007 9:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Taser's Shockwave 6-shooter makes Harry Callahan look like a princess]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/tasers-shockwave-6-shooter-makes-harry-callahan-look-like-a-pri/</guid><description><![CDATA[Since the darts/probes don't have to make contact with the skin for the TASER to work, who cares? ;) You know when you get a a jolt of static electricity from a door knob etc?

"whenever he gets the chance" does not sound like a use of reasonable force to incapacitate.
