People get tasered. People die. Is there a connection?

The purpose of the blog is The Main Question.

People get tasered.
People die.
Is there a connection?


This question has been written at the top of the blog almost since the very beginning.

How are we doing?

(Updates in bold)

American Medical Association (AMA) - check.
Amnesty International - check.
Wake Forest's Dr. Bozeman - check.
United Nations - check.
RCMP - check.
Braidwood Inquiry - check.
Government of B.C. (formerly a taser hot spot) - check.
SG of Alberta now willing to risk "thousands" - check.
Numerous distinguished scientists - check.
Numerous distinguished (medical) doctors - check.
Taser's bought-and-paid-for minions - ah, no.
The taser's 'Curious Temporal Asymmetry' - check.
Taser International taser demonstrations avoid chest - check.
Risk of death linearly proportional to exposure time - check.
Monthly taser-associated death rate tracks X26 usage - check.
Deaths by "Excited Delirium" going out of fashion - check.
Multiple taser-death mechanisms on offer - check.
Explanation for lack of 'direct' postmortem evidence - check.

I wonder how the bought-and-paid-for minions feel about the argument going against them big-time? It must be professionally embarrassing. Terrible...
