If I may respond to your first suggestion that my argument about the proximal time of death after deployment of the taser was fallacious, sir, I'm not a medical expert. This is not what I am saying; I am saying what is in the studies in the report. The doctors, the cardiologist, and these people have said in these reports that if there isn't death within minutes of electrical shock, any subsequent death is likely not attributable to the electric shock that was applied. That's not me. I have to rely on other experts, and it's clear I'm not a doctor.
On the weapons used for arrest in England, in Canada we do give our police officers guns. What we're trying to do is provide them with yet another tool to make the situation safer to the public. That is deployment of a taser, which has a less likely lethality rate than if they have to shoot their weapon. If they shoot their weapon, the chances are there is going to be serious bodily harm or death. With use of the taser there is less than 1% risk, and then only to a particular susceptible individual.
