Those Deadly Tasers again

Polk County Rules Man's Death Not From Taser, But Drugs POSTED: 3:26 pm EST March 15, 2005 AUBURNDALE, Fla. -- A 32-year-old man who died last year after a sheriff's deputy subdued him with a Taser stun gun succumbed to a drug withdrawal, not the electric jolt he received, a medical examiner concluded. Jason Yeagley of Auburndale, died from excited delirium, a condition believed to be triggered by drug abuse. In Yeagley's case, it was related to his withdrawal from the prescription drug Xanax, said Polk County associate medical examiner Dr. Vera Volnikh. The tussle he had with a sheriff's deputy heightened his excited delirium, Volnikh said. Medical experts believe the condition is brought on by drug abuse and paranoia, which heightens the heart rate and can kill a person whose heart might be already weakened. He was the first person in Polk County to die after being shot with a Taser. .........full story at the link above.......... Seems an officer was putting herself at considerable risk trying to help this doofus, and he fought her. Brilliant, just like some of my pals here in these ngs are brilliant. |

Wow... what a convoluted storey. Excited delirium? Withdrawal from the prescription drug Xanax? A cover up, I'm sure. Through in paranoia, even. A heightened heart rate brought on by 'excitment' and certainly not the fear or struggle with police, or the he would be shot or tasered by incompetent female police office. I hope this case goes to court. If his heart was so bad I wonder if he rode a wheel chair to his constuction job. I'm surprised no one blamed Xanax, but he had already been taken off the drug. bobb He was the first person in Polk County to die after being shot with a Taser. ........full story at the link above..........

If people in law enforcement want to retain any
shred of macho image they had better start squawking pretty loudly about this sort of stuff. If they don't, they deserve the public image of a bunch of wussies that these cases of tasering the elderly or little kids will get them. On the other hand, what kind of image will women in law enforcement get from more cases like this? |

I doubt the "macho image" is a requisite for police work anymore, greegor. That's what you get for sitting around rotting your brain with too much TV. If they don't, they deserve the public image of a bunch of wussies that these cases of tasering the elderly or little kids will get them. You mean cops have stopped other hand to hand encounters, the use of batons, restraint holds, and firing their guns at perps who threaten deadly bodily harm to the cop or others? I didn't know that. I must be out of touch. On the other hand, what kind of image will women in law enforcement get from more cases like this? Well, I believe in the case of the six year old that was cutting himself and threatening to cut others with a shard of glass (he'd already shown he was willing to injure himself...that equates with suspicion he might do so to others) I believe it was a women that either grabbed him to keep him from getting hurt when he fell from the jolt of the Taser, or the officer that fired..let me look it up. Yep, the officer that put herself within his reach and grabbed to protect him from getting more injured was female. And if you researched the available data on use of Taser you'd know that the incidence of injury and death is far lower than with the use of other non-lethal and lethal means of reacting. But then using facts would spoil your sick little games. http://www.taser.com/facts/medical_info.htm Try looking at the independent studies. This one is simple enough...I hope...for your simple minds: http://www.taser.com/documents/HECOE...ary_101804.pdf Notice their point that in deaths where there was drug intoxication there is a similar death rate in use of ANY RESTRAINT method or device. I know of a number of shootings by cops that killed the assailant, before the use of Tazer, that would have likely not even been injured had the officer had it available. Mentally ill people in many instances. They often do NOT fair well with other less than lethal restraint. They tend to struggle to the point of system collapse. If you read the DOD report above, replace the word Tazer or reference to it, with "gun" and see how ridiculous it would be. When officers have to protect lives having something other than a gun is very important in the death rate of perps. And capsicum spray is useless in enclosed spaces or if the the suspect is upwind, even for a split second and the spray is dispersed, and it is NOT all that effective at stopping those compromised by mental illness or drugs or drink. The enclosed space and upwind problem is that obviously it might incapacitate the officers instead of the perps. http://www.taser.com/documents/Orang...tice_Study.pdf for more focused field study. It amazing how much the conversations and claims here resemble that I used to hear from inmates when I worked in mental health with criminals in prison. Here's an intesting debate from both sides, and I see more than enough BS coming from the anti side, based on NO date, NO logic, just the same mindless prattle I see in this ng on the subject. http://www.taser.com/documents/Force...SER_Issues.pdf Kane |

Doan Everyone, and I mean everyone, has already determined using a taser on a six year old was terrible wrong. Kane, is one of the hold-outs. Maybe it's his macho image that is being preserved. Hmmm.. does he drive a big truck and have small feet? bobb |
