Taser-associated deaths in Canada 1999-2009

The following is a year-by-year plot of all taser "associated" deaths in Canada from 1999 to 2009 (inclusive).

The data has been extracted from The Canadian List in the right hand column of the Truth...Not Tasers blog [LINK].

Comparing this graph to the one in the immediately-previous post [Line of Duty deaths of Police Officers in Canada 1999-2009] it is clear that reining in the overuse, misuse and occasional abuse of tasers in Canada has not led to a wholesale slaughter of police officers in 2009 (see previous post [LINK]).
