Ozark chief: "Tasers saving lives" (eg. the 10-year-old girl that wouldn't take bath ?)

The full article is only available to subscribers [LINK].

It seems to me that the Ozark police chief needs to shake-off the corporate propaganda and realize that more use of tasers leads to more problems. The sub-headline indicates that his jurisdiction has a higher rate of taser use than even some large cities. This is evidence of taser-use policies cut-and-paste from Taser International.

Positive suggestions: Ozark Police Chief should read the MD AG's report on tasers and consider adopting the stricter taser-use policies. Also, if his attention span will allow it, he should review the Canadian Braidwood Inquiry report into tasers.

His education will be complete when he can correctly answer the following question: Can tasers sometimes, almost randomly, directly or indirectly kill the subject?
