CPD changes Taser policy after study finds they can cause death | Cincinnati.com | cincinnati.com

 

In light of a recently released scientific study that shows the electronic Taser stun guns can cause cardiac arrest and death, leaders of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky’s largest police force announced changes today to the department’s use of force policy regarding the devices.

I wish whoever wrote that article would have spent 4-5 minutes actually researching taser. They don't send 50k volts into your body.

Some send 50,000 to 500,000 volts from what I read its the amps that kill you. They cause your heart to skip a beat or stop.

Disobey a Police Officer, you should get everything they have at their disposal, up to deadly force. Don't be a punk to an officer, you will lose every time. One word........RESPECT.

None of the tasers I've seen police use send 50k volts into your body. The Internet might tell you that but that's not true. It's much closer to 5k volts.

 

You are right about amps. I'm not sure of the amps in a taser but it's very very small number.
