70 deaths compared to how many death by the gun? I'm willing to bet the gun comes out on top hands down still. Tear gas has caused deaths and so haven't bean bag guns. Hell, I play paintball and people can die from that as well. Its the fools who abuse there power and authority that give it a bad name, just like weed.

The cops stun guns are only 50,000V....you can get them on e-bay rated at 900,000V! Hell, I personally got a 300,000V one.

As far as the strength aspect of their stunners it's far from "excessive force" looking at what's available on the market.

it's not the power or lack of power in these weapons that's the problem. it's the fact that a potentially deadly instrument is considered non-lethal and can therefore be used with impunity. i agree that this fool deserved some punishment for the disturbance he caused, but using electrocution as a shortcut when detaining someone is "excessive force" and shows a lack of foresight in the handling of the situation.
