You know what, your absolutely right, it must be the tazer. I can't believe I was that stupid to look at the mountains and mountains of cold hard research done on the tazer and think for a second that it could be correct. I appologize for keeping my eyes closed.
    You obviously live in a fantasy world. In the real world, what do you think would happen to these departments if it the coroner said that the taser caused it?
    Why don't you review the SEC filings on the company?

    If the taser and pd were not responsible, why did Gwinnett pay out $100K to the family and try to keep it quiet?

    Think the taser isn't dangerous? Look what it can do to a 600lb bull.

    I live in a fantasy world? Were you not the one who said the cop should have beat the kid? Imagine the outrage at that one.
    Are you really gonna pull the sec report out and argue that because they have settled alot of lawsuits they are guilty and the taser is highly dangerous? American's are sue happy man, I've already addressed that. We can sue and win for anything now adays. Hence alot of times it makes more sense to just pay up, without a trial so that the image of the company is maintained. We have a nasty habit of passing judgement on companies (people as well) as soon as we hear they are in court. Even without the facts. So if a company is involved in any sort of lawsuit it hurts their value, even if they are not guilty so alot of times they pay to make it go away. Same thing for the police department, there was an investigation, no charges were pressed against the officers that I know of, you think the that would've been good enough for the family? Aboslutely not when someone dies in situations like this in america, the family must have money. They were prob going to sue, and the PD decided that it would be better for their image to just pay and make it go away. Once everyone heard (much like this thread) that some guy died in police custody instantly the police are guilty regardless of the facts. Seriously, you want to continue to argue this man, bring me something other then inuendo and news reports that say some calf died after being tazed 42 times. Bring me some actual facts. I gave you some, the studies have shown the taser does NOT put out the lvl of shock needed to interupt the bodies electrical system. I gave you information about how it's not just the voltage that is important when determining the danger lvl of electrcity. You want to argue that I live in a fantasy world, yet you throw stones at the PD and tazer and completely leave out the real people responsible, the man and that girl. THe man never should've been resisting in the first place, it never should've gotten to that point. The girl absolutely should not have taken a swing at the officer (Want more people to blame? Blame the parents for not, oh I don't know, being PARENTS) We're so eager to blame other people for our misforutunes and bad things it's pathetic. As long as I can blame someone/something else everything is ok. Makes me sick.
    But Yes I live in the fatasy world. I'm tired of the arguing, it's obvious that neither one of us going to give ground on this, so lets call it a truce. I left you positive feedback for the discussion, I think we should let the thread sink to the bottom of the forum pond.
