this article could just be the cops covering their ass for tazing the shit out of someone by saying "At this point, Baltimore County PD utilized the tazer numerous times in order to get the suspect to the ground and secured in handcuffs."
keep in mind the reported got his information from these said cops that were "attacked"

Simple observation and common sense. If you're gonna dispute that they're not in top shape, fine, but no one is going to deny that policemen are in very good shape, and that allows them to withstand a shock far, far better than people that die from them. Someone that is sick or mentally ill doesn't enjoy that benefit.

Umm no. You are wrong. The huge majority are in line with the general public in regards to fitness. The drug use is obviously a big factor, but again who's fault is that. By and large the Taser is quite safe.

Comparing healthy cops to people that are sick that are Tasered shows a fanatical and undying bias to your cause.

How do these cases from my blog summary of Taser deaths compare to how healthy cops fair being shocked with a Taser? Also, cops are only shocked once, and a high percentage of the time, people are shocked multiple times by police. You can quickly see how often this happens, 'cause I've noted how many times the Taser was used by each name in the second link below. And I'm sure multiple Taser deployment often goes unreported.

178. Daryl Dwayne Kelley, 29, Houston, TX
Jan 13, 2006
After being arrested and jailed for stealing a police car, Kelley refused to take medication for his mental illness. He became "aggressive" and "confused" and was transferred to the jail mental health ward, where he erupted with fury. In an attempt to restrain him, deputies Tasered him seven times then he was given a sedative. He died minutes later. The coroner reported he died of "psychotic delirium" related to heart disease, noting many bruises. Inmates claim he was also beaten.
180. Murray Bush, Metairie, LA
Jan 25, 2006
Two deputies Tasered Bush, who had violently resisted their attempt to take him into custody for treatment for bipolar disorder.
186. Samuel Hair, 48, Fort Pierce, FL
Feb 24, 2006
According to his family, Hair was mentally ill and called police for help. He was taken to the ER. There was a chance meeting at the hospital with his aunt. Police apparently thought he was harassing a stranger when Hair ran to hug his aunt. She says he moved his shirt collar to indicate that he was wearing a pacemaker, before a scuffle with the officers, during which a Taser was twice applied directly to Hair's skin, and he later died.
187. Melvin Anthony Jordan, 27, Norman, OK
March 4, 2006
Several 911 calls placed from apartment residents indicated Jordan was possibly under the influence of drugs as they reported seeing him "foaming at the mouth" and shouting that he was "the devil." An officer fired a Taser twice at Jordan in order to apprehend him. Aften in custody and taken to a hospital, Jordan suffered cardiac arrest and then died later.
190. Timothy Grant, 46, Portland, OR
March 20, 2006
After he acted delirious and ran into traffic, Grant engaged cops in a struggle. An officer shocked him twice with a Taser. Grant lost consciousness and died while receiving medical attention from paramedics a half-hour later.
197. Emily Marie Delafield, 56, Green Cove Springs, FL
April 24, 2006
A schizophrenic bound to a wheelchair, Delafield was in poor physical and mental health but would not have died, if she had not been shocked for a total of 121 seconds by officers, according to the autopsy. She had an enlarged heart. Police had come 28 prior times to the house, and Delafield asked them to come because she imagined her sister was trying to kill her. There was a 13-minute standoff with Delafield, who was armed with knives and a hammer, then police Tasered her ten times. Delafield collapsed minutes after the shocks and died after she was taken to the hospital.
204. Nickolos Cyrus, 29, Mukwonago, WI
July 9, 2006
Officers were sent to a home under construction and found Cyrus partially clad. The man with schizophrenia was Tasered twice, once trying to runaway and again on the ground, after he failed to put his arms behind his back to be handcuffed. Once in custody, officers noticed Cyrus was not breathing. CPR was performed, and he was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
205. Mark McCullaugh, 28, Akron, Ohio
July 20, 2006
While in custody, the mentally ill prisoner became agitated and slashed his wrists. When McCullaugh didn't settle down, the deputies' rampage began. A grand jury indicted five sheriff's deputies, charging one with murdering a jail inmate and the other four with lesser offenses. The deputies beat and tortured McCullaugh Jr., in several episodes over a span of about 45 minutes, said Special Prosecutor John Kosko. During much of that time, Kosko said, McCullaugh was shackled. The deputies zapped McCullaugh with a stun gun, sprayed him with pepper spray and beat him repeatedly in a cell, Kosko said. The ME's office ruled McCullaugh's death a homicide caused by asphyxiation.
213. Jason Doan, 28, Red Deer, Alberta
Aug 30, 2006
Under unusual stress and under the care of a psychiatrist, Doan was arrested after residents complained of a soaking wet man yelling profanities and threats, as well as smashing windows on vehicles. Doan struggled with the first two RCMP officers who tried to arrest him, using a stick as a weapon. He was Tasered three times and on the third try, Doan's resistance "eased off" and after a few seconds he said "Please help me." Police got the second handcuff on him and noticed he was turning blue. CPR was done, and Doan died at the hospital.
216. Larry Noles, 52, Louisville, KY
Sep 5, 2006
Noles was acting very erratic, including stripping off his clothes and running into the middle of the intersection of a busy road. Police at the scene Tasered Noles three times. He collapsed and died.
219. James Philip Chasse Jr., 42, Portland, OR
Sep 17, 2006
Three officers saw Chasse acting "oddly", as if he were "either on drugs or "had a mental disorder" and then "possibly urinating in the street." He ran from them and police tackled him. Two witnesses said it was an "over-the-top-arrest." Large framed officers chased the slim man downhill, shoved him to the ground from behind, then tumbled on top of him. Reportedly, Chasse was "highly combative." The witnesses reported that they saw officers kick Chasse several times while he was on the ground. They said they heard the Taser cycle through and be fired four times, and that Chasse then stopped struggling and screaming. The coroner said Chasse died from "broad-based" blunt force trauma to his chest that took place early in the encounter. No drugs were found in his system.
230. William Jobe, 40, Federal Way, WA
Nov 9, 2006
Jobe died after being Tased by an officer. Jobe’s mother called police when he began having violent hallucinations, after consuming alcohol and medication not prescribed for him. Jobe received severe lacerations on his arms after breaking a window. He was Tased and then physically restrained by officers. Jobe died two days later.
237. Blondel Lassegue, 38, Queen’s, NY
Jan 7, 2007
An emotionally disturbed man died of a heart attack after being Maced and Tasered by the police. A relative called the police when Lassegue was acting up at his uncle's house, saying he was depressed and delusional. He had recently gone off medication for bipolar disorder.
240. Martin Mendoza, 43, Oceanside, CA
Feb 21, 2007
Mendoza called police from a service station that someone was out to get him. Police came and put him in the rear seat of a patrol car, where he tried to kick out the windows. When the door of the car was opened, Mendoza fell out. Deputies struggled with him and fired a Taser at Mendoza 13 times, according to recordings in the stun guns. Between stuns, Mendoza was described as "thrashing and kicking." After subduing him, officers noticed he wasn't breathing, and he was hospitalized. He died three days later. Blood tests showed Mendoza had meth and alcohol in his system.
243. David Brown, 47, Park Forest, IL
March 17, 2007
Police were called to a home in reference to an aggressive man with a history of mental illness. Brown had severely battered his eighty-one year old father and forty-six year old brother. Officers arrived to find that Brown had fled on foot from the home. Later police found him and Brown fought with police. He was Tasered and subjected to a K-9 unit. He was forcibly placed in handcuffs. In the ambulance Brown experienced cardiac difficulties and died later at the hospital.
And the number of deaths and cases I found go all the way up to 426, so you can find plenty more examples of sick people being Tasered and dying.

I'm pretty sure it's cases like these that people don't have a problem with the taser (If the stories are legit). Although I don't understand why they did it multiple times (Instead of once and then restraining him while he was dazed), but I wasn't there. I have seen pepole tased before and they are right out of it after getting shocked once.
It's cases like tasering an angry pregnant chick or a teenage girl that get people mad. If you can't physically restrain a small girl or a pregnant chick without a taser or a baton, you should maybe consider working at the Gap or something that better suits your abilities.

For now, I'm not going to haphazardly amend what I got and wait and see until I get a comprehensive list of the recent deaths.
It is easy to see, except for a cop like you, of course, that I was completely objective in the summaries I put together, and my blog was to make information on the deaths easily accessed. That was the sole purpose, and about 90% of all Taser deaths are included. The only ones I didn't include are ones that I couldn't find online.
It wasn't a complete surprise that this cop killed himself. That was an extremely disturbing mistake police made to Taser a man hanging onto a fire escape, making him swan dive head first into the cement, and police admitted it was a mistake.

Police officers don't have the right to beat a suspect after he's clearly been contained. Its a fairly natural human reaction to want to, adrenaline is pumping, you'd be angry, you'd just put your life at risk, but thats the job. In our society its not the job of a police officer to be the judge jury and executioner of the law, so for you to justify what the cops did is fairly ignorant.

Also, you just got to restrain yourself not to get angry about how police Tasered a teenager 19 times, while he was lying on the ground with a broken back, and one of the most incredible parts is that Captain Thomas Rousset of Ozark police tried to justify all that! “He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he's also making statements such as, ‘Shoot cops, kill cops,’ things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers,” It's so bizarre and makes you wonder if they're just making this all up. This boy was extremely lucky he didn't end up on the list of dead.
