Wired.com Danger Room notes parallel messages

The article at Wired.com Danger Room [LINK] notes that Taser International and PoliceOne have similar interpretation on the recent 9th Circuit Court ruling on taser overuse.

"There’s a similarly robust view on PoliceOne..."

You shouldn’t be surprised that PoliceOne provides the same misinformation as Taser International. A while back, when I contacted the ‘Less Lethal’ columnist Greg Meyer to challenge him on a technical point, he ran off to check the details with his friends at Taser International. When I saw that I was very disappointed, but not really surprised. Also, his column is sponsored by Taser International. I consider his column to be little more than a corporate spokespuppet outlet, as you have now discovered for yourself.

Note that the exact column referenced in the Wired.com article was written by "PoliceOne Staff". But the "Less Lethal" column is still proudly sponsored by Taser International.
