less than nine lives

CNN: Ex-cop may be charged in case of man Tasered to death

A police officer shocked a handcuffed Baron "Scooter" Pikes nine times with a Taser after arresting him on a cocaine charge.

He stopped twitching after seven, according to a coroner's report. Soon afterward, Pikes was dead.


Death by (self-reportedly non-lethal force) Taser, one of my irrational fears. Seriously. It's up there with amputation or decapitation by helicopter. Bleh. I should stop thinking about it.
