>> people are dying left and right from being tased so sometimes it works just as well as a gun. <<
There’s no reasoning with anyone who would make such a statement. If you shoot a guy, you will always cause a severe injury. If you taser him, 99% of the time, you do not cause a severe injury. (A study of 1000 taser victims found three had injuries which required hospitalization and 2 died, although not (necessarily) from the taser.)
There are several cases where people were killed after receiving multiple taser shots. Clearly, however, a single taser shot is not normally lethal. That said, tasers can be very cruel, and that fact needs to be given grave consideration whenever their use is approved.
This guy, however, did everything he possibly could to justify getting himself tasered.
Pastor Anderson claims he was tased repeatedly, so if that was the case he did not receive just one taser shot and according to you could've died from it. I still don't get why the need to tase him, he was alone and there was at least 10 of them, he wasn't even acting physically violent.
