The document discusses concerns around the safety of tasers and their use by police. It notes that over 500 citizens have died from taser-induced deaths and questions whether tasers are truly safe, especially when abused or overused. The document calls for testing tasers in their worst applications and considers whether their use needs to be reformed to ensure public safety.
