    Yes.   Over 1,000 people.  Tasing can send some people into cardiac arrest.  People with weak hearts or on drugs are more susceptible to death by traser than an "average healthy adult” is.

    Thanks. The recent guy who was shot in the back while running away had a Taser and as he RAN AWAY he pressed it over his shoulder at the gunholding cop who murdered him. How far is the distance a Taser can reach?

    Thanks. The guy who was shot in the back TWICE while he was running away from the murderer was farther away than that I think as he tasered over his shoulder while trying to run away. "Another one bites the dust". :(

    He was shot when he turned and pointed the taser at the officers.

    When people do stupid things there are consequences.

    I am saying... it was justified.  Anytime an officer is at risk of being incapacitated and disarmed it is protocol to use lethal force.  Which the use of a taser on an officer certainly could/would do.

    I fully agree!!!  I meant as in a racial way (that they did or didn't single out a black person).

    I heard that an unborn baby may have done so.

    She got zapped in the stomach. I don't know what the autopsy said.

    Oh. Well the tasering was mentioned so maybe that was the autopsy found. Very sad, Thank you for the clarification E.

    Yes. A TASER is not considered non-lethal, it is specifically classified as less lethal than a ballistic firearm because there is the potential it can cause death. People have died after its deployment, either directly or indirectly connected with its use, such as having a pre-existing medical condition that was exasperated.
