3. Taser Not The Cause

No autopsy and yet you state that Taser was the cause of death. Total nonsense. No one has died from the electrical shock from Taser - ever! A handful have fallen and struck their head with fatal consequences.

The facts are that Taser has saved thousands of lives, and dramatically reduced injuries to both suspects and police. There have been more than one and a half million people shocked by Taser in training and voluntarily with ZERO deaths. In fact more children have died from ballons than died from Taser in the same period. Why not start a campaign to ban them?

The real bad news for you is that you too will die. We all do. Taser is rarely (extremely rarely) even a secondary cause.
