Taser Troubles...

More Stun Gun Fun

Just compare the Taser story with the amount of attention the media has shown to the West Nile virus, a fairly rare disease transmitted by mosquitos which is relatively fatal for the elderly and the already frail. According to the CDC, a total of 246 Americans were killed in all of last year from the disease -- yet there have been many times that the evening newscast opens with the West Nile as the main story of the day. The reason for the difference is obvious: the West Nile virus can strike accross class and racial boundaries, Tasers don't.

Yes, cause Tasers are only used against non-whites...sure...it's always easiest to pass judgement on to areas where one is blind to anything other than the surface and unwilling to dig fearing to find flaw in one's own viewpoint. And unlike West Nile, Tasers are not fatal.
