First off, I am not a doctor and I didn&#x27;t sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. But as someone that was an EMT and who worked around law enforcement for numerous years in other capacities, I have seen this all too often.<p>&quot;like how dangerous tasers are.&quot;<p>Taser stats can be a bit deceiving. In the vast majority of cases where a taser is deployed the individual is in a drug-induced state with increased heart activity. Combine that with the escalating situation and the individual&#x27;s heart rate is often higher than if they were just in the drug-induced state. These individuals are often highly combative at the time the taser is deployed. Given normal circumstances a taser deployment on these individuals most likely would not result in any harm. However, combine that deployment with the increased heart activity and adrenaline going through the individuals system and it becomes a recipe for disaster.<p>To generalize and say that tasers are dangerous does not take into account the entire picture of events or situation at hand. It&#x27;s not the taser itself that is dangerous it is the situation the individual has placed themselves in that causes the danger.
