Recently in New York City, an unarmed black man was shot to death by police officers who thought he might have a weapon. Why do you think incidents like this keep happening? The police are addicted to a contagious need to expel rounds of deadly bullets. They cannot control themselves because they see their fellow companions do it. They don't carry the same standard they would in more affluent communities. Race only plays a role because there are more blacks and Hispanics in poor communities...

Superficially at least, the Taser is the perfect weapon for dealing with dangerous scenarios such as riots. It purportedly does no permanent damage and yet completely immobilize its victims. This is how the public perceives them at least and, to our dismay, evidently many users of NLWs share the perception.

Yet even if Tasers pose no risk of death...
