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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
