The Failed Pacifist

Another Taser Death

An armed bank robbery suspect died near Vancouver after Mounties used a Taser to subdue him. He had reportedly jumped out of a window "naked and bleeding", but police were unable to catch him. When he headed back for the home, a decision was made.

"At that point, believing that he was a possible armed robbery suspect, the fact that the firearm was unaccounted for and the fact that there was a known female still inside... officers used their [taser] in an effort to restrain this individual, which they subsequently did," the officer said.
