CLAY, N.Y. - An Onondaga County grand jury won't charge a Syracuse-area police officer who used a Taser on a man who later died. Christopher Jackson [#329, LINK] went into cardiac arrest in March after Clay Police Officer Kevin Drumm stunned him with a taser. Authorities were called to Jackson's apartment for a domestic complaint involving his mother. While Drumm was interviewing a witness, the 37-year-old Jackson tried to grab him. After warning that he was going to use a taser, Drumm shot Jackson with the stun device. Within 90 seconds of handcuffing Jackson, officers noticed he was unresponsive and called for paramedics. Jackson was pronounced dead at a local hospital. [LINK]
"...within 90 seconds..." What are the odds?
Kroll insisted tasers are safe under all circumstances... [LINK]
Do you think, maybe, possibly, perhaps, that Kroll is just plain wrong?
The first of Clark's three laws [LINK]: When a distinguished but elderly scientist [Kroll, but he's not THAT old, and neither is he THAT distinguished] states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Kroll thinks that a taser death is impossible [we're not talking about falling down here].
I think that Kroll is very probably wrong.
