Tasers can be lethal and must be fully banned now
1,000 deaths in the US and 18 in the UK prove tasers are lethal force. Brain, heart damage can result. Alternatives exist and must be deployed by the police instead of tasers. Police risk lives by targeting body parts against advice eg shooting a community leader in the face.
Police have pulled tasers on children hundreds of times.
Alternatives to lethal force exist and must be deployed instead of tasers.
