There are more taser deaths than we know. Most of them are “under the wire” and not widely reported. That there are several videos of incidents proves that the problem is wider than we suspect since the vast majority of them are not on video. The underlying purpose of tasering without a crime being committed can only be as a warning to the public not to dissent or even ask questions. We are left, however, with a crime being invented on the spot by the policeman who insists on obedience: “Resisting arrest” charges make a felony of a physical reflex. THAT is yet to be recognized.
