			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/08/14/taser-challenge-inquiry014.html" target="_blank">Taser news</a>, Taser International has launched a legal challenge to overturn the findings of an inquiry into the death of a Polish immigrant who died after being Tasered by Canadian airport authorities.</p>
<p>As I have previously <a href="http://www.crikey.com.au/2009/06/26/spin-cycle-tasers-in-hospitals-who-paid-for-the-research/" target="_blank">reported on Crikey</a>, Taser International has argued vigorously for the safety of Tasers and recently a doctor who has received a lot of funding from the company came to an Australian conference. According to this doctor, the answer to violence in hospital emergency rooms is to arm doctors and nurses with Tasers.</p>
<p>Not that Civil Tongues would ever question the authority if doctors who take funding from international arms companies, but one has to wonder exactly what question he was asking to get <em>that</em> answer.</p>
