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 |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
