[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 232320, member: 831"] I would like to address the died due to "other health reasons" argument. These people may have had health issues which meant they were in a weakened state, but perhaps the stress of the tasering was the final nail in the coffin. In other words, perhaps they would still be alive had they not been tasered. Maybe it wouldn't have been much longer, but if it had been my loved one I would perhaps would have wanted them to have the time they might have had left if they had not been tasered. Maybe it would have been six months, or maybe six years, but regardless the police need to exercise prudence. I think it depends on the situation, the person's age and history, and if they are an immediate threat to anyone. I don't like the idea of using a taser to "subdue" a teenager to simply be able to cuff them. [/QUOTE]
