Another 15-year old kid...

Teen dies after Warren police use Taser

"He was Tasered once by one of our officers. After that, he became unresponsive." said Deputy Commissioner Gere Green. Officers administered CPR and the teen was rushed to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital's Warren campus, where he died at 10:17 a.m. [LINK]

The usual sequence: Tasered, unresponsive, CPR, dead. I'll bet that he was tasered in the chest by an X26 taser.


Family members told police that the teen had some medical issues. [ibid]

I wonder how long he might have had these pre-existing 'medical issues'?

Well obviously it was the 'medical issues' that were the primary cause of death. Right? The taser obviously had nothing to do with it. (sic) {Rolls-eyes...}


Update: Police "...believe the boy was asthmatic and on anti-depressant drugs." [LINK]


PS: For those (so-called) law-and-order (sic) frothing-at-the-mouth right-wingers that are having trouble keeping up, the issue here is the purported safety of the X26 taser versus the real-world outcomes. There may be other issues that relate to this incident, but my issue is with the claims of safety and what follows from that.
