A very important post from Eddie Griffin. Read it here [LINK], or here [LINK].
...to be culpable in one, infers guilt in the other. ...
There is an axiom here: As the death count rises, the cost of using tasers will go up. ...

“Tasers are not only deadly”, Tatum declares. “They are torture.” ...
Officer Stephanie Phillips did not know... No one ever told her the weapon was [potentially] lethal. ...
...we, as a nation, have been conditioned into accepting the Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs) as non-lethal and harmless. ...
The handwriting is on the wall: The days of tasers are coming to an end.
