I'll tell you why he died: "The probes from White's Taser struck Carney in the arm and lower back, that was in line policy laid out by the department."
They shot him "safely below the heart", but with one electrode in his arm, his heart was right in the middle of the electrical circuit.
"The police department's policy prohibits firing frontal shots with a Taser unless it is in self-defense or defense of another."
WTF? Are they saying it's OK to shoot a guy in the back any time, but only shoot him in the front if it's in self defense? Whatever happened to a "less lethal alternative to shooting with a gun"? Or is it also OK to shoot a nonviolent subject in the black with a Glock? |

Should anybody care that a robber was killed by police? Seems to me like one more piece of garbage is off the street. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
