Question about the tasers that keep killing people.

[Deterass]

Why can't they adjust the power of these damn things.

Like from a high crack head setting to fat mom who didn't like getting pulled over setting.

 

[gotmilk]

They can.

Stinger Systems has a working prototype that can do this.

 

[jnevin]

They're both the same to me. The fat ones just smell like bacon.

 

[Deterass]

They can.

Stinger Systems has a working prototype that can do this.

But are they using them yet?

 

[chefbone]

I want to get one!

 

[gotmilk]

I think they are...I don't follow them anymore.

The thing is some people are just more likely to be damaged from them than others. Just like pepper spray can cause people to go in to antifallactic shock and die.

Also you don't hear about the thousands of times that they are used without really harming the person. Plus if they weren't using a taser they'd be using a gun so same result, just one has a much larger survivablility.

Tasers CAN kill. Just like a gun can.

And if the PD's and media start telling people that tasers can do exactly that -- perhaps combative subjects will start looking at tasers like a real gun, instead of some silly toy cops use.

Either taht -- or have cops inform the subject that this taser CAN kill you. even though during fits of rage, most subjects hear little and listen to nothing.

They leave some nasty scars too. Someone I know got it on the back. Same spot twice. Scarred forever. Not as bad as being dead though.

Of course they can kill........its been all over the news.I just don't understand why they don't make the tasers a little weaker.I saw a video of one of the actual stun guns they use on the street that put a huge bull down.WTF?

An 80 lb dude high on angel dust is more dangerous than some silly old bull.

Actually the more muscle you have the worse it is for you. The taser causes sever muslce conractions, therefore it is worse for a 200lb muscular guy than a 170lb crack fiend. Following this logic the bull would really get it. Problem with lowering the power is it needs a certain amount of voltage to break the inherant resistance in the human body.

tasers dont kill people.

people kill people.

 

[Raina]

I wish more people were getting killed in general. By tasers, disease, packs of dogs. I'm not picky.

 

[eat big]

If they made one that was really weak, I might actually enjoy it.


Been electrocuted several times and it is amazing.

Hey! I was the one asking the question bucko!

 

[chewyxrage]

I've never seen a cop w/ a taser, just stun guns....

Most of them now carry the tasers.
