CPC: On the subject of tasers and the infliction of excrutiating pain

CPC: Taser International states that the CEW in probe mode does not rely on pain to achieve compliance. The documentation with respect to the effects of CEW usage conveys that the pain component of the CEW is more benign than it really is. Virtually every person who has been the subject of a CEW deployment, whether voluntary or involuntary, refers to the experience as being extremely painful... RCMP training pertaining to the CEW deals with the pain inflicted by the weapon in a relatively narrow and perfunctory manner. [LINK]

Taser International's misleading propaganda about where the taser falls on the electrocution scale has been noted by this blog at least as early as January 2008. [LINK]
