Winnipeg police are being retrained in how to use stun guns after new guidelines were set down by the manufacturer, Taser International.
After years of denying that their product was causing unnecessary fatalities, it appears Taser International is tacitly admitting that maybe, just maybe, getting a jolt of electricity directly into one's heart might not be safe. (No e'ffn kidding!) As such, Winnipeg Police officers have been instructed to -- "to refrain from targeting the chest area, to avoid an impact on the heart."
About time!
Ironically, despite having issued new guidelines, Taser International, is still trying to maintain (with a straight face?) that their product has "never been directly blamed for a death." I call BULLSHIT!
