Lawsuit Filed Against North Charleston PD and Taser
There is absolutely no case here against Taser whatsoever. This is like trying to sue gun manufacturers for making guns. It’s not the Taser that’s the danger but the human being operating it.
Now, in the case of the N. Charleston police department, that’s a different story. I can’t think of a single reason why the police would need to subdue somebody with a Taser ten times. That sounds more like torture to me. However, the Coronor’s office stated Black’s cause of death as “excited delirium syndrome.” He was high up on drugs. Go figure. So it would not appear the Taser jolts caused the man to die so there may be no case against the police either.
