Taser's Response to Canada incident

"This tragic incident appears to follow the pattern of many in-custody deaths. Historically, medical science and forensic analysis has shown that these deaths are attributable to other factors and not the electrical discharge of the TASER® system. Specifically in Canada, while previous incidents were widely reported in the media as "TASER deaths," the role of the TASER device has been cleared in every case to date – including the widely publicized Bagnell in-custody death in Vancouver where the TASER device was cleared by an inquest jury. Cardiac arrest caused by electrical current is immediate. This video indicates that the subject was continuing to fight well after the TASER application. This continuing struggle could not be possible if the subject died as a result of the electrical current causing cardiac arrest. His continuing struggle is proof that the TASER device was not the cause of his death."

"Medical and law enforcement experts and independent comprehensive reports from the governments of Canada, United Kingdom and the U.S. have concluded that TASER technology is among the most effective and safest use-of-force intervention available to law enforcement officers.

TASER devices have reduced injuries to suspects by up to 70% and saved thousands of lives."
