Quote:

Michael Langan, 17, died Tuesday after being hit with a police electronic stun gun, the 22nd person in Canada to die after being tasered.

"This damn machine, it killed my son," she said. "He would've been here today. I think they should ban tasers. They should ban all that nonsense."

...

Police spokeswoman Constable Jacqueline Chaput said he was carrying a knife and refused to drop it, so he was shot with a taser stun gun that disables its target with a 50,000-volt electric shock.

...

Reports from the scene indicate Mr. Langan was bleeding from the head immediately after he was tasered. The official cause of death will not be known until after an autopsy is completed this week.

My guess is that he wasn't given time to drop his knife. _________________ "Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish." - Euripides "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." - Albert Einstein "To find yourself, think for yourself" - Socrates
