5. From what little l've heard about he taser incidents is...............
that the cops seem to be using the tasers indiscriminately.
Why did cops use a taser on a 13-year old in south FL a couple of months ago?

So you don't think that someone dying is reason for a review of them? I do. I thought the reason cops began using tasers was because they were supposed to be safer and used to subdue suspects without causing permanent or fatal injuring them much less killing them.

I would think that there would be a way to calibrate the tasers so that the jolt would only stun and not be fatal.

IMHO it would it would take many more strikes with a billy club than it take jolts with a taser to kill someone.
