Tasing
Two days ago there was a new ticker on TV: They showed what tasers are and the abuse by police, on air. TP has an article in German and here the Taser webiste with categories in consumer, law enforcement and military. A taser is an apparatus, that fires arrows with barbed hooks on electric strings into a human being´s body. The electric power has a voltage of 50 000, as reported in ZiB, recently. Hakuryuu wrote about "Don´t Tase Me!" in The Journey of an APELC Student. There are some videos on YouTube about some cases of police violence.
It seems we are back in times of legalized torture:
1 Over here they said the voltage would count at 50.000, as much as I remember. However, voltage of any kind affects the rythm of the heart. When an electric current diverts heartbeats, permanent damage of the heart is - most - likely.
2 Those arrows have barbed hooks: These things are not even used for animals, anymore. In contrary, they were cancelled, because of cruelty.
3 Did you already hear, that 80% percent of the Western Society cannot be called healthy - and therefore "taser resistent"? Not everybody is sporting daily or thrice a week, depressions are called a quite common illness (don´t know the exact term in English) and all these people have to take medication. Let me say it the other way round: Do you know people, who are "top fit" and take no medications in the average population?
