Taser likes to play word games. They use wording that has been chosen with excrutiating care to slip in subtle misdirection that many people would not notice.
November 05, 2008 - Radio 660 News Staff Calgary The company that produces taser devices is commenting on the fear mongering that they say is dominating the debate on the policing devices. The Calgary Sun is reporting that a spokesperson for Taser International says the hysteria gripping the country about the device is bordering on insanity. In addition, he says that not one coroner in Canada has ever blamed a death on a taser, and that only one has ever contributed to a person's death. [LINK]
Once upon a time, they could make the same claim covering the entire world. No longer. Now they must restrict their claims of "not one coroner" to Canada only. Because this sort of claim is no longer true in the USA.
Note my words: ...no longer... Anyone care to predict a trend? Will a coroner in Canada eventually be forced to conclude the obvious - in the face of the device leaving no physical evidence?
