Tasers in the News
Cocaine use may reduce vetrical fibrillation (heart stopping) effects caused by electrical currents.
Of course. Since Taser funded the study everything is considered biased and will likely be looked upon with doubt until someone independent verifies the findings.
Florida officer suffers Taser use on himself by suspect.
That would really suck! The article was poorly written. I would guess the officer was using a drive stun on him, which is just using the Taser as a stun gun without the probes. The stun gun effects do not normally override the neural pathways so all the suspect felt was pain. He probably grabbed the Taser from the officer and started using it to stun him, that is when the officer "drew his weapon" which I would guess would be his service pisol and that is when the suspect decided it was time to skedaddle.
OMG! DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STUDY PROVES TASERS ARE LETHAL! SUE DEM STUPID COP JERKS!
The headline is funny, until you read this part:
"Based upon input from our scientific and medical advisors, in Professor Webster’s latest study he cracked open the chest, removed the protective skin and muscle tissue layers which can disperse 98 percent of the electrical charge density, drilled a canal down to the surface of the heart, filled the canal with a conductive fluid, and placed the TASER® probe inside the canal, very close to the heart.
"Professor Webster's independent study is significant as it shows the extreme to which it is required to get VF to occur. Clearly, this doesn't represent any situation that occurs during actual field uses whatsoever and is an unrealistic real world worst case approach that can greatly magnify the currents at the heart.
"This research is akin to testing a directed laser beam versus the dispersion of an incandescent bulb. Under these same conditions of removing the protective skin and muscle tissue you could defibrillate the heart with a 9-volt battery."
