Hand held "Old Sparkys"

Do police also get a charge from using Tasers? This time it is the Houston PD that offed a troubled soul, with 4 Taser shots. The poor soul in question, while naturally or pharmaceutically unhinged, was naked and unarmed. That is a capital offense in Houston, it would seem.
A naked man wandering around an apartment complex near Houston, Texas died after police shocked him with a taser four times...

..."Torturing and killing the mentally ill with tasers is becoming commonplace," Hullabaloo's Digby blogs,"There must be a better way."

Tasers have have killed more than 400 people in the United States and Canada since 2001, according to a recent study.
Whatever happened to Mace?
