Over the last year , Chicago police force have used tasers on mass 683 times — an step-up from just 197 times in 2009 . That ’s because the law department more than duplicate its taser arsenal , and break off investigating every taser - related incident .
As a result , the bureau said it has decided against investigate every prison term an military officer use a Taser , say the hundreds of incidents were “ consuming ” its resources . Instead , it will do so only if allegations of actus reus are made , serious combat injury or decease result , or a minor or senior citizen was targeted .
So essentially the only elbow room for a police taser incident to be enquire in Chicago is if someone dies , or if children or former people are fried by a trigger happy cop . At this rate , reasonably shortly they ’ll be tasering people for jaywalking .
