Columbus police claim Taser didn't kill dead suspect · 731 days ago

He refuses to leave a hotel bar, they taser him, claim the taser never worked, then he dies of a heart attack…

From The Columbus Dispatch:

Tonight, the Columbus City Council heard legislation to buy 110 more Tasers for Columbus police to add to the 205 already on the street. The City Council could vote next Monday on whether to buy the X-26 Tasers, including training cartridges and street-use cartridges, for $140,975, from Vance’s Outdoors.

Parks died after police fired a Taser at him and wrestled with him inside The Columbus, a Renaissance Hotel, on Sunday night.

Parks resisted when police tried to arrest him after he swung a cane at a security guard, police said.

An officer fired Taser probes, which are connected to the gun by wires. One of the probes hit the man’s coat and the other probe missed entirely, police spokesman Sgt. Kevin Corcoran said. Both probes have to hit the body, creating a circuit, for 50,000 volts of electricity to fully stun the person, Columbus Public Safety Director Mitchell J. Brown explained.

Police said Parks went into cardiac arrest in the hotel lobby and died at Grant Medical Center.

He had refused to leave Bar 41, which is in the lobby of the hotel at 50 N. 3rd St.

Pinochet Has Heart Attack · 731 days ago

From The Guardian:


Augusto Pinochet, Chile’s former dictator, was in a stable but serious condition last night after being rushed into surgery following a heart attack. General Pinochet, 91, had bypass surgery and was given the last rites as doctors considered further surgery. “He is stable, but of course serious,” said Juan Ignacio Vergara at the hospital of the Chilean armed forces.

Dr Vergara said that Gen Pinochet had arrived at 2am yesterday, local time, after complaining of breathing problems and severe stomach pain. At one point, further surgery looked necessary, but doctors were trying to avoid this because of the risk.

The former dictator, who celebrated his birithday last week, has multiple health problems including diabetes and has had a series of strokes.
