Immigrants and children and deer, oh my!
I guess tasering isn’t an especially new thing, but it certainly seems to have caught on.
This is a choice quote from the wikipedia article on tasers:
The American Civil Liberties Union alleges that, since 1999, at least 148 people have died in the United States and Canada after being shocked with Tasers by police officers.[28] Police departments counter that while Tasers were used to subdue these individuals, their in-custody deaths were un-related to their encounter, and could have likely been caused by more traditional police impact weapons (like batons).
Oh, well, nevermind then.
