Shocking Documentary

Rick Outzen September 19, 2006

Director Steve Baumann of the French TV station Canel-Plus is in town to gather information for a French documentary on Tasers. The French government is about to conclude a year-long study on the weapon. Taser International is marketing the tasers to French police.

Why is Baumann in Pensacola? He’s in Florida because of the 19 Taser-related deaths in the state — some in Northwest Florida.
