Headline Fail
It’s another ‘TASER death’ headline failure – “Mom who choked and punched son, 3, while ‘high on bath salts’ pictured running naked through street – moments before she was Tasered to death.” An autopsy hasn’t been completed to determine a cause of death, yet this UK news site’s headline claims she was ‘TASERed to death.’ It seems that TASER safety is always called into question. Why is it that people who are acting bizarrely & are possibly on some sort of dangerous drug suddenly die after a TASER deployment & the media regularly speculates that the TASER ECD caused the death? It doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that perhaps the hazardous pharmaceuticals caused this person to die?
Quite honestly, speculation should be left out of the headlines, don’t you think?
“UK Police Kill 3 with TASER, Pepper Spray.” This is an over-the-top misleading & inaccurate headline & story. Not only does the headline say police kill people with TASER ECDs, the story goes on to say a man was, “TASERed to death.” It’s already been determined that one man died of self- inflicted stab wounds yet this headline & story incorrectly implies that the TASER ECD killed him. Really?
A cause of death hasn’t been determined for the remaining 2 people.
