There's an excellent feature article published in the Fort Worth weekly concerning the controversial Taser stun gun. The article recounts the instances in which a Taser is used. One of the most compelling aspects of the article is the individual accounts of the circumstances in which people have been Tasered. This allegedly non-lethal stun gun has been used in non-violent situations such as when a 66 year old grandmother was honking her horn trying to park her car. By the way, she was in her own driveway at the time she was tasered. In spite of these accounts, the majority of police departments and of course, Taser International continue to insist that the weapons are safe and should be used liberally-all evidence to the contrary.
