        @BBCNews BBC very quick to infer police responsible for death, not so quick to tell us what man was doing when Taser used.

        presumably he was being shocked with 50,000 volts through the heart

        @BBCNews thought the taser was designed to not kill?

        It's not necessarily the taser that killed him. There will be other factors involved.

        he could take a heart attack of course. However who would get the blame?

        Taser wouldn't necessarily cause a heart attack. It's likely other factors were involved.

        Can't possibly be true - they are completely "safe". They told us so. It's not arming the police by the back door at all.

        Would you not rather Police have taser than be routinely armed and people get shot like in the US?

        it was sold to us as the "safe" alternative. It is clearly not that.

        It's safer than being shot. There will be other factors involved that haven't been reported yet, ie drug use, self harm.

        Shouldn't have either. UK police kill 10x more citizens than terrorists & we should not give them tools to kill even more.

        So what wld your solution be when police are faced with someone wielding a machete?Have officers face serious injury/death?

        they seemed to cope before tasers. If faced with a machete they would always have been, and still would be armed with guns!

        It's an unarmed officer that would turn up and face a machete. Firearms back up could be 20mins + away.

        @BBCNews he must be doing something WRONG to be tasered. Why can't the headline be about his wrong doings?
