TASER International Crimes Against Humanity

Manipulating the Truth about Tasers

THIS IS A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

To insure Public Safety against tyranny by the exercise of excessive state powers to use force, we call into question the use of TASERs as a means of compliance control by law enforcement, in the United States. Although TASER International dispute the claim its Electronic Control Device (ECD) is lethal, we have cumulative history of 458 taser related deaths in North America (listed below), and 50 in the United States so far in 2009.

The preponderance of evidence before the court of world opinion concludes that tasers can and do cause death, and can easily be used and abused as weapons of torture. By its very nature, applied electrocution by conductive electricity is torture.

When Robert Heston (#110) died on February 20, 2005, after being tasered 20-23 times, TASER International claimed that “inherently” tasers were not deadly, but that the death of Heston was unforeseeable.

By the time Robert Dziekanski (#320) died in a Vancouver airport, on October 14, 2007, after being repeated tasered by Royal Canadian Mounted Police, TASER should have known that its non-lethal weapon could kill, and could kill easily. Thus began a year-long inquiry known as the Braidwood Inquiry.

Some of observations included that fact that Taser guns had not been properly tested for market, and TASER International should have known its lethal potential, and should have warned law enforcement agencies that over-exposure to applied electricity of 50,000 volts could kill the subject in custody.

The Heston jury also held TASER liable for 15% of the contributory to the cause of death, insofar as the company had not warned law enforcement agencies not to taser a subject 20-23 times, and especially not in the chest area above the heart. Multiple tasings go beyond incapacitation to electrocution, in merely a matter of seconds.

Michael Jacobs II (#424) was electrocuted on April 18, 2009, at the ends of the prongs of a taser held in the hands of Officer Stephanie Phillips, Fort Worth Police Department. In the inquiry, the officer admitted not knowing that she continually applied a force of 50,000 volts of electricity into the body of a mentally ill man, whose parents had only called for medical help, for a total of 54 seconds.


TASER maintains that useage was at the officer’s discretion as to when and duration. Stephanie Phillips could continually electrocute Jacobs with 50,000 volts without the feeling of empathy to the other's pain and suffering, either by a heartless heart or a headless knowledge of the power of her weapon. She did not know how deadly the weapon truly was.

She engaged the taser trigger for 49 seconds, the first time, because the young 24-year old man was “acting up” by refusing to take prescribed psychotropic (debilitating) medication for a diagnosed case of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. As a result of his refusing, his system was clean and clear of drugs, which had been the 85% contributory in the cause of Heston's death.

Phillips pulled the taser trigger a second time, for the duration of 5 seconds. Young Jacobs was dead, ruled a homicide by the medical examiner.

Here an innocent, mentally ill man gets shocked with 50,000 volts of electricity for 54 seconds. He dies, and there is not accountability.

The Tarrant County grand jury returned a NO BILL against Officer Phillips, holding her guiltless of any criminal intent.

Who then is to blame for the officer not knowing that engaging the trigger of a taser, absence-mindedly beyond its 5-second automatic shutoff, would endanger the life of the subject? Who is accountable for teaching that tasers do not kill? Not only to they kill, they torture by the very sensitivity of our skin.

Here is the Preponderance of Evidence: TASER International cannot disassociate itself from the causes of deaths, herewith, and the torture of millions of others.

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY- False advertising non-lethality claim - Complicit in the excessive use of force by encouraging the discharge of 50,000 against innocent and unarmed subjects resulting in death - Disproportionately used against the mentally ill in medical emergency circumstances - Exonerated by the courts through trickery - May the memory of these souls rest upon the consciouse of each TASER International executive, board of directors, and investors.

  2. Something has to be done! Even security guards carry these things around. This summer my neighbors wife was chased with a taser by a security guard while her husband was sprayed with mace. She was only trying to get him off of her husband. Just a shame.

    Here is another one that is very recent in today's paper and close to where I'm from.

  4. How many of these people died because they were under the influence of cocaine and/or alcohol at the time? How many were psych patients who were out of control at the time they were tased? Need to look at these issues because research has shown some of these get so combative or engaged in a major scuffle and worked up that their muscles are already worked up w/ lactic acid so when they are tased, they experience sudden death? How many of these cases were dismissed as meritless?

  5. Reba, some people keep suggesting the same thing- that somehow it was the victim's fault. Michael Jacobs (above) committed no crime and his system was free and clear of drugs. His death was ruled a homicide. You can say that he is the exception, but 54 seconds of 50,000 volts of electricity can kill anybody... multiple tasing will eventually kill a person... electrocution is torture... and it can lead to death... How can you blame the victim for that fact of life? And, summary execution on the spot are illegal, unconstitutional, and criminal.

  6. Number 336 was the Love of my life, my Husband, and Father of my Child...Thank you for adding his name..Attorneys refused to help us..and the media smeared his name and made him out to be something that he was not..we miss him..so much..and losing him has damaged our hearts forever...and left a son forever scared with out his father...I might add that I have photos of the tase marks on his head in three places ..and multiple places on the body..He was in an ambulance..a place that was suppose to be safe...
