A certain pro-taser arsehole that has been previously discussed in this blog [LINK] is continuing to leave his idiotic comments all over the on-line news outlets. His mindless comments typically have the following, grammatically- and factually-incorrect, Zuskin-trademark heading:
"Taser Saves Lives Everyday" (sic, and also very sick)
His latest moronic comment is the following:
Tasers have never killed anyone,
Yes they have. See De-spinning the Spin at the top of the right hand column for a couple of choice examples. $6.2M judgment for failure to warn (of the risk of death). And a case where three coroners that have pointed directly at the taser shocks as THE cause of a fatal cardiac arrest. Even Taser chairman Smith admitted that use of tasers results in lives lost in a ratio that he felt was acceptable (but who the hell gave him the right to make such moral trade-offs?). So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
'...a taser cannot kill a person unless they die due to a fall... '
Utter B.S. See De-spinning the Spin. The obvious-in-hindsight blood pH issue has been established in court. Coroners have found that taser shocks can cause cardiac arrest. And many more.
'Tasers give Police control over the uncontrolable, ...'
First, you don't have to capitalize the word "police" - they're not gods. Secondly, chuck yur spilling...
Back to tasers: tasers are unpredictable. Sometimes they work as they're suppose to. Sometimes they don't (today's example: [LINK]). Sometimes they are associated with the subject's death. Sometimes they are linked causually to that death. But most often they're overused, misused, and abuse. The taser success stories are so rare that Taser often celebrates them with a press release.
'...without getting hurt. Tasers reduce injuries to Police and Perps alike. ...'
Tasers have been called a 'street level death lottery'. I think that most 'perps' (and victims) would prefer to risk a minor injury rather than take a chance of being killed. A due to Taser's endless denominator-washing, the risks are actually higher than you might have been led to believe. Recent reports have warned of the risks of accepting the maufacturer's propaganda at face value - so you should stop quoting it.
Also, search this blog for a lesson on Karma. See [LINK] [LINK] and [LINK].
I hope that someone can figure out the exact relationship between this idiot and Taser. There is obviously a connection that drives him. If it isn't his life's savings tied-up in now less valuable TASR stocks, then perhaps there is a family connection. There must be something...
Where is Michael Moore when we need him?

Indeed, I sure would appreciate if Michael Moore would contact me. No phone number on his website, e-mail comes back because is AOL box is too full.
Not much different I guess than the backlog of cases in the courts. This is what New Zealand's Parliament avoided by consulting with criminal lawyers, College of Physicians and Registered Nurses and Social Workers BEFORE licensing only carefully trained swat teams to learn how to aim the Taser's laser light and WARN, before pulling the trigger! It was called "Campaign Against the Taser". Shame on USA, Shame on Canada!
