The Randolph County coroner Gerald Luntsford has ruled that the August death of Stanley Harlan, 23, whom Moberly police shocked twice with a Taser during a traffic stop was a homicide.
"A homicide only means that a person came to their death by the hands of another," Luntsford said today. [LINK]
[And what device was in those hands? A taser !!!]
Luntsford said he could not disclose whether the use of the Taser killed Harlan. "There’s no doubt it contributed to it," the coroner said. "In a few days, we will have exactly what killed him."
This finding, that there is no doubt that the taser (at the very least) contributed to the death of a 23 year old man during a traffic stop makes a mockery of Taser's claims of safety.
If the taser is oh-so essentially perfectly safe, then how could it possibly have contributed to a death?
Contributing to a death doesn't sound very "safe" to me.
Taser's worldview just doesn't fit with the facts.
Even the most thick-headed Taser fan-boy must be starting to wonder what's going on?
