As the controversy about Tasers continues, Dr. Mark Kroll compared the stun gun to Tylenol and declares it safer than the over-the-counter medication. Dr. Kroll is a biomedical engineer, with a professional connection to the Taser manufacturer.

“…Kroll insisted Tasers are safe under all circumstances, and have never been proven to have directly killed anyone. He said they don’t output enough electricity to kill, even if people are stunned several times.”

The presentation of the data did not include the findings of researchers who question the safety of the stun gun. These opposing data were deemed to be not a “good fit”. - Of course, presenting contrary data is not a good fit. Excluding differing findings is always the prudent procedure in presenting a biased viewpoint.
