The Boulder Daily Camera:

BOULDER, Colo. -- The local American Civil Liberties Union chapter is asking Boulder police to change their Taser stun-gun policy after witnesses saw "unnecessary and excessive use of force on a mentally impaired and unarmed man" last week.

Any person with a heart condition stands the same chance of dying as if they were shot in the chest with a bullet. Why any police officer thinks otherwise is a testimony to their disrespect for the humans they are charged to protect. Tasers need to be criminalized.
