Cops in my town have been having very bad luck with tasers.

So far in 2010, Arlington County cops have used tasers on people only 4 times, and 2 of those 4 times resulted in the death of the person being tased. For a supposedly non-lethal weapon, that's probably a higher kill rate than guns have.

Wow, you're tough, Glatt. They're batting .500, what's it take to get on your 'A' list?
