Tasers are by far law enforcement's most commonly used conducted energy weapon. Its manufacturer, Axon, wouldn't speak with us on camera, but materials the company provided cite findings of independent studies that 99.75 percent of incidents in which a Taser was used did not result in serious injury, and that, of the tools available to police to exert force, a Taser is least likely to result in significant injury, less likely even than unarmed physical force.

Ever since a police officer fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, almost nine years ago, police use of force against people of color, especially Black Americans, has been under intense scrutiny.

In June, Wake County district attorney Lorrin Freeman announced that she was not bringing criminal charges against any officers in connection with Williams' death.

The reality is, we need an entire paradigm shift around when force is necessary for law enforcement, even if it is nonlethal weapons. If it is used with the intent to cause harm, to cause pain, to punish someone, that is always going to result in the people of Raleigh and anywhere else being in danger of death for even simple interactions with law enforcement.

Six officers involved in Williams' death were placed on paid administrative leave. The Raleigh Police Department declined an interview request and wouldn't go beyond a written statement.

In all, officers had Tased Williams four times. About an hour later, Williams was pronounced dead at a hospital. He was 32 years old.

Now that the district attorney has decided not to do anything, Sonya Williams and her attorney said they are exploring their options in their pursuit of accountability for the police and justice for Darryl Tyree Williams.

I don't have anything against the Tasers. I just think it's the way they use it. They used excessively on my child. And until something be done about it, they're going to keep on doing it.

For many years, police use of force against people of color, especially Black Americans, has been under intense scrutiny. Tasers, also known as conducted electrical or energy weapons, may be ranked below guns on the spectrum of police force, but using them has resulted in deaths. John Yang reports. A warning: some images in this report may disturb viewers.

Among the circumstances she says led her to her conclusion, what she calls the limited uses of Tasers on Williams, none longer than five seconds, the question of whether officers heard Williams tell them about his heart condition, and the complications posed by the autopsy report, which cited a combination of factors contributing to Williams' death, rather than a single cause.

Darryl Williams lost his life because the Raleigh Police Department apparently doesn't have anything better to do than to harass Black and brown people.

A Taser can absolutely kill you. Whether it can do that by a cardiac means is still a topic of discussion. But there have clearly been cases where people were standing in an elevated position, and they were struck with a Taser, and the muscular lockup occurred, and they fell and they had a major head injury, and they died.

There is no authoritative database of deaths that follow the use of a conducted electrical weapon. But a 2017 investigation by Reuters put the tally at more than 1,000, nearly all of them since the early 2000s.

Photos, biographical info, and a Q&A session with Regina Holloway of the DC Divas.

That's Tasers' key selling point. Axon estimates that about 285,000 lives have been saved or serious injuries prevented because police used their devices, instead of a gun.
