Is there any evidence that people can survive being tasered?

Only when the officer,or member of the public,including the person the police were confronting,or trying to helps weellbeing is is in jeopardy.It seems some police see it as the easy option to hide their incompetence. Makes you wonder how they passed their probationary period Police should be intelligent and well enough trained to deal with most situations with minimum, if any force,as most undoubtedly do Unfortunately such incidents make it harder for the majority of good policemen/women, as the public begin to lose respect and faith in them.

It may keep an uncooperative suspect from being killed in a tensely charged situation. Before the taser was used, the number of people killed or wounded was up. Also there are people who endanger the lives of others by their lack of cooperation - ie the high speed chases that seems more prevalent now.

Regarding the Vid - The info concerning why or how the young man was on the interstate was not revealed. Was he running from the law for a significant period of time? I might be bias since I volunteer with other Senior Citizens for my Police dept.

We range in age from 60s thru 80s. It would be a very good idea to learn about your Police Department. We need the Police and they also need the contact with the average law abiding citizen.

Also I think that the stun gun would be a handy device for SCs to use for self protection. It is not a perfect defense device but it would be more appropriate for those who are afraid of guns. Plus we can not carry a loaded gun in my state.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
