In less than eight years, Miami Police, Miami-Dade Police, and Miami Beach Police officers have used their Tasers more than 3,000 times. At least 11 men have died after being tasered by cops during that same period, including five in the past 16 months... In one instance, Miami-Dade Police shocked a 6-year-old boy. In another, cops tasered a 12-year-old girl for playing hooky, the Miami New Times is reporting in a full-length investigative report on the misuse of tasers in Miami, which is clearly just one aspect of police violence against largely unarmed civilians, esp. people of color; its time to rein the cops in. Dont tase me, bro, or anyone else, either~! blogs.miaminewtimes/riptide/2014/12/miami_cops_misuse_tasers_with_deadly_results.php
