Houston audit [
LINK] [
LINK] reveals the truth about tasers:
- Tasers used most often ["nearly 67 percent"] on black suspects. Blacks are just about 25% of the population of Houston.
- Black officers in Houston are less likely to use their taser. This is very interesting and very revealing.
- Tasers have not lead to a reduction in shootings of civilians. This inconvenient truth reveals the entire justification for tasers in the first place to be nothing but a damn lie.
I've got nothing against Houston. These problems are more a reflection on tasers and their relationship to society and 'power', than a reflection on just Houston.
