223. Would these Taser supporters still support the guard if the kid had died?
Please remember that tasering has killed people on numerous occasions.

As a matter of fact, over 70 people killed since the beginning of 2009.

I wonder how many of the "he had it coming" crowd would stick to that position if the video they watched had ended with the guard having to do CPR on a dying kid? Anyone who would still support using these dangerous weapons in non-threatening situation (which is what we had in Philly)... well, then i don't want to know them IRL, because they are sadistic fucks.
