"Until the eight shots heard ’round the world, cops in North Charleston,
South Carolina, were primarily distinguished by their zesty use of Tasers.
As computed by a local newspaper in 2006, cops there used Tasers 201
times in an 18-month period, averaging once every 40 hours in one six-
month stretch and disproportionately upon African Americans.
The Charleston Post & Courier did the tally after the death of a mentally ill
man named Kip Black, who was tasered six times on one occasion and
nine times on another. Black died immediately after the second jolting,
though the coroner set the cause of death as cocaine-fueled “excited
delirium syndrome.”
