Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our witnesses.
Actually, I would suggest that the question is backwards. If the officers don't have a taser, it may result in their using a firearm. So it gives them one more tool, and that simply makes sense to me.
We talked a lot about excited delirium deaths. The whole issue of excited delirium deaths came up before the taser was used. My recollection is that back in the early 1990s when we were using oleoresin capsicum spray, or pepper spray as it's commonly known, we had excited delirium deaths then. Am I correct in that?
