Go back 200 or some posts to where I was the first person to call them “less lethal”, which is how they’re categorized.

ANY device can be lethal, especially the taser alternatives such as club, choke hold and gun. Good luck against any of those when you decide to put up a fight.

To call tasers “lethal” because even one person died is to claim that my Stretch Armstrong doll was a killing machine because of that one stupid kid ;)

As designed, manufactured, tested and employed, the taser is most certainly not qualified as a “lethal” device. The only lethal device a cop carries is his gun, everything else is incidental.

Using your argument, a .22 is less lethal than a .45 so it’s okay to use a .22 to subdue a person that you don’t plan on killing for a traffic violation.
