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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
