Taser "...was ineffective..."

{ROLLS EYES}

CASPER — ...Colbey Emms exited and fled the wrecked Cadillac he is accused of stealing, officers shot him with a Taser, but it was ineffective. He was eventually subdued by multiple officers... [LINK]

At least the police in this incident were more-or-less heroic in their ability to subdue the subject using reliable non-lethal methods. Too often an ineffective taser leads to use of deadly force.

I wonder if this rate of ineffective tasers is going to lead the police to a new arms-length relationship with the stun gun salesmen.


Update: Here's another one. "...When police arrived, they deployed a taser on Powell however, that didn't stop him from taking off again. ..." [LINK]
