WTF? Since when is an electrical ENGINEER a health expert?

Patrick Reilly, a researcher and electrical engineer at Johns Hopkins
University, carefully explained the device's effect on the body and how
someone could die after being shocked. While he said the probability of
death is small.

The media has deliberately omitted the part out where he says that "he
would never want to be jolted by the device. "I wouldn't want to be
Tased myself and I wouldn't want a family member to be Tased," he
testified. "But I recognize among the arsenal of things police have to
deal with, that this may be a useful tool."

The fucken media is on the RCMP and police's side. We have an
unquestionable obedience to those in authority.

Tasers should only be used if the next step is to shoot too kill,
otherwise the police should do what they've been trained to do,
apprehend the person physically instead of being lazy . We also have
seen how the police deliberately tasered someone who was on the ground
co-operating and telling them "don't taser me, bro". Yet, they did
because cops these days are masochistic thugs.
