According to the United Nations Committee Against Torture, Taser guns are a form of torture, and “can even provoke death”. And still our government will make tasers available to 30,000 non-especialist officers.
Already 435 died after been tasered by police worldwide, and Amnesty international recommends a suspension on all use of tasers until a rigorous, independent and impartial inquiry into their use & effects is carried out.
But that's not all, police are also torturing children and elderly people with tasers. In the first half of 2008 alone, British police fired Tasers at 28 kids under 18.
Tasers were also used by police on:
* Children under 10 (2 of them died)
* Elderly people
* Teenagers (10 of them died)
* Disabled people
* Mentally ill patients
* Domestic animals
* Pregnant women
* Pets
* Ministers & Professionals
The government as mislead the British public to believe tasers are a substitute to fireams, but tasers are constantly used when a firearms would have never been justified:
* Tasers are not a safe alternative (they killed 436 people already)
* Tasers are not used as a substitute to firearms
* Tasers are rutinely given to non-especial officers with just 18 hour training (and even to traffic police in Avon and Somerset)
* Tasers are used to torture people into compliance (unarmed people that pose no threat to officers, themselves or the public)
* Tasers are modern "cattle prods" for humans
