Tasers a form of torture, says UN | The Daily Telegraph: "'The use of these weapons causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture,'' the UN's Committee against Torture said.
'In certain cases, they can even cause death, as has been shown by reliable studies and recent real-life events,'' the committee of 10 experts said.
Three men, all in their early 20s, were reported to have died in the United States this week, days after a Polish man died at Vancouver airport after being Tasered by Canadian police."
The verdict is in, the UN considers Tasers torture, and therefore, US citizens are being tortured everyday. It is just too bad that the United States chooses when, and when it will not, listen to advice from the UN.
