Taser Safety

From comments previously posted on this space, many people believe that the use of a Taser gun is perfectly safe. The incident at the Vancouver airport should be added to the data pool:

“The man who died at Vancouver International Airport after jolts from a Taser gun may have had a rare condition known as excited delirium, RCMP speculated Monday, though the coroner’s office has not yet determined the cause of death.”

The advocates of the Taser say that it is not deadly force. However, if there are pre-existing conditions, then that statement is not valid. The person holding and using the Taser is not precognitive. Instead, it is a statistical gamble that this time it is not deadly.
