Gwinnett files counter-claim in Taser-related civil suit | ajc.com

Gwinnett files counter-claim in Taser-related civil suit | ajc.com: "County attorneys also stated that those studies were not conducted on the same weapons that were sold to the Gwinnett Sheriff's Department. Another complaint was that the department was never warned that repeated or prolonged use of the weapon could lead to death."

Lots of nerve takes this. The company didn't tell us that prolonged and repeated use could lead to death. Ok, what about your own training? We have anywhere from 4 to 7 cops working on one guy. THe guy is handcuffed and manacled, so no real movement for his arms or feet. Is there any reason in hell to tase the guy. You knew he was on medication that he hadn't been taking. Why not put him in a room until he wears himself out? You already had him restrained so what was the tasing for.....
