Amnesty International Renews Its Taser Warnings

As the death toll from Taser use continues to mount across the country, Amnesty International has renewed its call to halt the use of the controversial stun gun.  According to the watchdog group, 61 people died after being tasered in the last year.  In spite of this, Taser use has increased since 2001.  According to the GAO, police officers used the stun gun 70,000 times last year alone.
