Daunte Wright case highlights challenge of police reaching for stun guns, experts say.

Today, law enforcement agencies generally follow 2011 guidance offered by the, a nonprofit police research and education organization, in regulating stun gun use.

The 2016 4th Circuit decision Armstrong v. Pinehurst set another precedent. It banned stun gun use if there is no immediate danger to officers or others and use on a fleeing subject. The court’s decision became binding federal law in North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, according to aIn the current case involving Daunte Wright -- pulled over for an expired registration tag and a warrant -- the situation escalated.

Under the Brooklyn Center Police Department’s policy, the stun gun is intended to control a violent or potentially violent individual, while minimizing the risk of serious injury. “One of the things that did stick out to me was she shot him in the chest; officers are not taught to deploy [stun guns] to the chest. You run the risk of cardiac effects,” he said told ABC News.

“The problem is not with the Taser as much as it is with the operator. I've never seen anyone die from a single five-second ride from a Taser. People die from these multiple rounds, they die from being shot on a high surface and they fall off a roof or they fall,” Alpert said.

Solution: no more stun guns!!
