I'll tell you why he died:
"The probes from White's Taser struck Carney in the arm and lower back, that was in line policy laid out by the department."
They shot him "safely below the heart", but with one electrode in his arm, his heart was right in the middle of the electrical circuit.
"The police department's policy prohibits firing frontal shots with a Taser unless it is in self-defense or defense of another."
WTF? Are they saying it's OK to shoot a guy in the back any time, but only shoot him in the front if it's in self defense? Whatever happened to a "less lethal alternative to shooting with a gun"?
Or is it also OK to shoot a nonviolent subject in the black with a Glock? |

| Should anybody care that a robber was killed by police? Seems to me like one more piece of garbage is off the street. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
