"Stop! Or I'll Taser!"
Call me... a concerned citizen... but I think "getting tasered" is fast becoming the new "died while in police custody".
So, where do tasers come from?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona-based Taser International makes virtually all of the "stun guns" being used today. In fact, Taser is the brand name and the technical term for a stun gun, a conductive energy device, or CED.

Meanwhile, a quick google even by an amateur like Little Ol' Sooey brings up this:
Hey!TheTrainingBrochureDidn'tSayAnythingAboutGettingTasered!
----------------------------------------------------------------
In reaching this conclusion in its report to Canadian police chiefs, the Institute was apparently not overly troubled by the enormous number of deaths that have occurred in cases where a Taser has been used. The specific finding by the Coroner of Cook County, Illinois, that a Taser was, in fact, the cause of death of a man arrested in Chicago also appears to have been ignored in the report as the type of definitive evidence it was seeking to support the claim that the devices can cause death. This report comes at the same time that police officers in five states have filed lawsuits against Taser International claiming they suffered serious injuries after being shocked with the device during training classes.
