shocking!

read this article about the future of stun guns! instead of simple tasers, this new type of gun can shoot a "lightning-like beam of electricity." sounds maybe good maybe bad, but keep reading and find out that "of the 30,000 times US police officers have fired Tasers, in 40 instances people stunned by them later died. The deaths have been attributed to factors such as... fighting with officers, rather than the electric shock." "Taser International chief Rick Smith said: 'In every single case the medical examiner has attributed the direct cause of death to causes other than the Taser.'" so in other words. the people that have later died after being stunned died from factors not relating to the electrical shock. so wat does that mean? after the cops shock you immobile, they beat you to death? god knows they aren't shooting you to death. cops in america, after all, have terrible aim. pointshooting.com reports that police accuracy is around only 20%. btw, according to the nra, less than 75% accuracy is classified as being a "danger to bystanders." another website (with the article "police gunfighting" written by a dr who's teaching the 'police in society' class (along with a number of other police/justice classes) at wesleyan college) reports that the "average police officer effectiveness is at the level of 17% proficiency."  which makes them only 7% better than the average untrained criminal [same article]. ...makes you feel good about the police of today, no? btw, none of this even goes into wat happens if the 'bad guys' get a hold of this super laser gun.
