Damn... how much do they have these Tasers set to? For me the most disturbing part of all this is how this is occurring in what's supposed to be one of the safest countries on the planet.
A man who was jolted with a Taser has died in a Dartmouth, N.S., jail.
The 45-year-old man died Thursday morning at the Burnside correctional centre, about 20 hours after police used a stun gun on him.
Nova Scotia Justice Minister Cecil Clarke said there will be a review of the police's use of Tasers, but there will not be a ban on the weapons.
RCMP and the province's chief medical examiner are investigating the man's death.
The hand-held Tasers deliver a jolt of electricity, which immobilizes the person targeted.
The unidentified man is the latest person to die after being stunned by a Taser.
Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski died at the Vancouver airport five weeks ago, prompting the federal government to order a review of the RCMP's Taser policy.
That review will not include other police forces.
