The simple truth is, statistically...
...you've got a better chance of being strangled by your own pants...
From 2002 to 2007, nine people died in Canada after being hit with an RCMP stun gun.Of course...
In the decade from 1991-2000, there were 5,900 water-related deaths in Canada; of that total, 889 died fishing.**********
RELATED: If Tasers are so lethal...
...why do cops keep volunteering to be shocked?
Det Con Joe Holness agreed to act as a guinea pig in a demonstration of the device at the Police Federation's annual conference on Wednesday.[*]
His stunt raised more than £1,000 for October's National Police Memorial Day, which Det Con Holness founded himself.
The conference voted 95% in favour of all officers being armed with the guns.

Hhmmmmm,... interesting stats Neo. So how many Canadian between 2001 and 2008 died in RCMP fishing related activities? How many Canadians died while fishing with Tasers?
Just yesterday, there was a show on CFRA (Ottawa) saying that there were FOUR THOUSAND deaths per year in Ontario ALONE from prescription foul-ups; are people so stupid that they can't put things into perspective?
Drain the lakes!!!

now hang on just a sec... is that really you, zorph... or just another duplicitous impersonator clogging up my comments yet again?
*
I think a fairer comparison would be deaths caused by other methods used to subdue a suspect when being arrested by police, apples to apples instead of apples to oranges as it were...
*
kursk... methinks you're missing the point here.
if you're actually concerned about saving lives... as opposed to simply attempting to vilify police officers... don't bear down on a incidents that are "statistically insignificant"... never mind being largely self-inflicted to boot.
*
Errr,... Neo,... how many dead people are required before it becomes statistically significant to you?
Just asking
".. never mind being largely self-inflicted to boot."
The crimes that these people are committing for which they are tasered require them to be subdued and prosecuted. Maybe a kick in the ribs if they're being assholes. Not death by electrocution.
*
geez, zorph... does someone really have to explain the difference between "emotionally significant"... and... "statistically significant".
oh, that's right, you're not really asking a question... it's just another stupid troll.
at least, this time anyway, you're actually using your own identity.
knock yourself out, you dumbstick.
*
well neo your the one who said these deaths were statistically insignificant,... I am ingnoring the emotional conponent completely.
So the question still stands Neo, when do the number of deaths becomes a problem. Obviously you are willing ro live with two deaths per year,... is ten per year still okay? 50? 100?
Oh, and since we are talk about comparing statistics here, we should actually be comparing statistics that comparable. Such as examining number of taser deaths versus number of Taser discharges,... Causse after all Neo, it is a well know fact that all people whom consumed carrots in 1852 are now dead,...
*
zorph... i couldn't care less what you are "ingnoring".
you are merely, much like your role model "canadian cesspool"... a duplicitous dickhead... interested only in hearing the sound of your own voice.
and your carrot flourish... well, that was certainly, uh... unique.
flail away, zee... you're actually pretty amusing when you get going.
*
Hmmm, so asking you a question is "flailing away", o-kay,... whatever.
So I guess by your lack or responce you don't want you not interested in discussing when the number of deaths becomes an issue,... you really don't like get too specific on the details do you Neo?
Well you have nice long weekend, try to enjoy yourself, I recommend you stay away from Toronto, since you hate my sooooo much,... Maybe you can take the Neo Family out for some cow tipping?
*
lemme see, zorph... "tasering fish, lethal carrots, cow tipping..." --
yeah, zee... no trolling going on here at all.
i'm obviously simply intimidated by by your superior grasp of the issues.
you guys crack me up.

oh, zorph... as i said above, you lost the right to comment here, when you admitted to using "bogus identities" to troll the comments for the sole purpose of jamming up conversations.
why on earth would i continue to engage a blatantly dishonest, mischievious little fuck like yourself after that?
you've just gotta love how "canadian cesspool", who is too scared to show up here himself, just winds up all his lesser squirrels and sends them over here in his stead.
you guys are always saying how insignificant i am... while working full-time to try discredit me. funny how that works.
say hi to the rest of the troll-o-matic boys for me.
