Use of the electronic (More) NEW YORK (CBS News) ― A United Nations committee said Friday that use of Taser weapons can be a form of torture, in violation of the U.N. Convention Against Torture. Use of the electronic stun devices by police has been marked with a sudden rise in deaths - including four men in the United States and two in Canada within the last week. Canadian authorities are taking a second look at them, and in the United States, there is a wave of demands to BAN them. The U.N. Committee Against Torture referred Friday to the use of TaserX26 weapons which Portuguese police has acquired. An expert had testified to the committee that use of the weapons had "proven risks of harm or death." "The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted a form of torture, and that in certain cases it could also cause death, as shown by several reliable studies and by certain cases that had happened after practical use," the committee said in a statement. Tasers have become increasingly controversial in the United States, particularly after several notorious cases where their use by police to disable suspects was questioned as being excessive. Especially disturbing is the fact that six adults died after being tased by police in the span of a week. Last Sunday, in Frederick, Md., a sheriff's deputy trying to break up a late-night brawl tased 20-year-old Jarrel Grey. He died on the spot. "I want to know what he did that was so bad," the victim's mother, Tanya James, said. "Did the deputy think that their life was in danger? Did he have a weapon?" The death came just weeks after Frederick police used a Taser to subdue a high school student. Black leaders held a rally Tuesday calling for the department to ban Tasers, at least until there is a clear policy on how they are used. The NAACP says it appears the sheriff's office is using Tasers routinely, rather than as a weapon of last resort. Also this week, in Jacksonville, Fla., in two separate cases two men died after being stunned. One suspect, who fled a car crash and tried to break into a nearby home, struggled with a policeman, prompting the officer to tase him three times. The man continued to fight, and tried to bite the officer, while he was being tased. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Another man died Tuesday after a Jacksonville officer pulled over his car. When the officer approached it, the man took off running. When the officer caught up with him, during a struggle, authorities say the officer used his Taser to subdue the suspect. After being placed in the back of the police car the suspect became unresponsive. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Last Sunday, in New Mexico, 20-year-old Jesse Saenz died after Raton police used a Taser to subdue him. Police say Saenz was struggling and fighting with them as they attempted to take him into custody. Saenz died after being transported to a county jail. In Nova Scotia, a 45-year-old man who was jailed on assault charges jumped a counter and ran for the door as he was being booked. He died yesterday, about 30 hours after being shocked. And in Vancouver, where Royal Candian Mounted Police have been criticized for their use of a Taser against an irate airline passenger at Vancouver Airport last month, 36-year-old Robert Knipstrom died in a hospital four days after police used a Taser, pepper spray and batons to subdue him. Police earlier said Knipstrom was agitated, aggressive and combative with officers. The cause of death has yet to be determined. More than a dozen people have died in Canada after being hit by Tasers in the last four years. The reported incidents this week did not have cameras documenting the use of the Tasers, but in British Columbia, a tourist's video camera recorded the death of a man tased twice while in custody at the Vancouver Airport last month. That horrifying video shows Robert Dziekanski, a Polish man who spoke no English, become increasingly agitated. He was shocked twice, and then died. The stun guns were denounced at memorial rallies in Vancouver and Toronto for Dziekanski. Among the 1,000 people at the Vancouver rally was Paul Pritchard, who shot the video of the confrontation at the city airport. The crowd gave a hero's welcome to Pritchard, who said he "saw the life drain out of a man's face" and heard "blood-curdling screams." A rally in front of the Ontario legislature in Toronto drew several hundred people, including Bob Rae, a Liberal candidate in the next federal election. Rae said the events leading up to Dziekanski's death must "never, ever be allowed to happen again." The prominent - and sensational - reports of deaths following the use of Tasers has increased attention to their legitimacy, and prompted a bold defense by their manufacturer. Taser International, based in Scottsdale, Az., released a statement following the Vancouver Airport incident saying no deaths have ever been definitively connected to what the company describes as: "the low-energy electrical discharge of the Taser." That's 50,000 volts. "The video of the incident at the Vancouver airport indicates that the subject was continuing to fight well after the TASER application," Taser International said. "This continuing struggle could not be possible if the subject died as a result of the Taser device electrical current causing cardiac arrest. [Dziekanski's] continuing struggle is proof that the Taser device was not the cause of his death. "Specifically in Canada, while previous incidents were widely reported in the media as 'Taser deaths,' the role of the Taser device has been cleared in every case to date," Taser said. The devices are used by about 12,000 police departments, often in chaotic situations. Retired police officer Paul Mazzei told CBS News correspondent Joie Chen, "Minus the Taser, they would have to use an impact weapon like a baton, possibly pepper spray or in some extreme cases of violent behavior they might even have to use deadly force to control that individual." In fact, in New Mexico earlier this month, the parents of a suicidal woman who was shot to death by Bernalillo County deputies two years ago are suing, contending that the police should have used Tasers instead of firearms. Brittany Wayne was killed in her bedroom 23 seconds after police arrived. And in Utah, a patrol car's dashboard camera caught an officer tasing a driver who refused to sign a speeding ticket. The officer is now under investigation, accused of being too quick on the draw. Amid a growing outcry, civil rights groups are urging police to put down their Tasers until more research is done. "The danger of Tasers is that they seem safe, they seem easy and therefore I think it's natural that police will be inclined to use them much more quickly than they would ever use a gun," Amnesty International USA Executive Director Larry Cox told Chen.

But man's greatest weapon has continued to evolve without any human guidance, and now it has devised a new mission: to obliterate all life.
Colonel Hendricksson (Peter Weller) is commander of a handful of Alliance soldiers still alive on Sirius 6B. Betrayed by his own political leaders and disgusted by the atrocities of this ever-ending war, Hendricksson decides he must negotiate a separate peace with the New Economic Bloc's decimated forces. But to do so he will have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the deadliest threat comes from the very weapons he helped to create -- the Screamers.
With Ace (Andy Lauer), a young trooper, to accompany him, Hendricksson sets out on foot for the enemy bunker which lies across a wasteland poisoned by radioactivity and guarded by deadly Screamers. Miraculously the Colonel and Ace find someone who has managed to survive in the middle of this desolate killing ground - a small boy, David (Michael Caloz), lost, alone and clutching a filthy teddy bear.
Taking David with them, the two soldiers forge ahead to the New Economic Bloc bunker, only to discover that the Screamers have beaten them there. Just three of the enemy survived the carnage: Becker (Roy Dupuis) a menacing soldier with a hidden agenda; Ross (Charles Powell) a trooper close to breaking point and Jessica (Jennifer Rubin), a beautiful, tough black-market trader.
One safe haven remains for friends and foe alike: the Alliance headquarters, but to reach it they will all have to fight their way through an army of Screamers who have grown infinitely more cunning in their drive to wipe out every human on the planet. (Less) Channel: youtube

The thicker come the jokes, the more likely the serious intent. Not that he ever tells a joke; but we conceive his purpose as being primarily to entertain; to dissolve us in laughter by the absurdity of it all. This is what he does, with not the slightest trace of malice - or only the very smallest. And yet we all know, and always have known, even while we smile indulgently - for we cannot help but smile, knowing him to be inevitably kind even when most kindled to righteous wrath - that he is in earnest. Not deadly earnest; just earnest, with that puzzled look on his face that tells us he finds it difficult to conceive how things ever came to such a pass. But they have, he perceives, and he must make the best of a bad job. He is never the clown. But the sadness breaks through. The tears are held back. But tears there are. Something claws at him and will not let him be. A divine discontent with all this levity and his own jollity and uncle-like chumminess. Not only tears, but fears; the blind fear of the child confronted by the dark. And he reminds us that we are all of us frightened, all of us lost, all in need of redemption. Who will lead us from the Valley of Darkness? What kind hand is given to us to uphold and comfort us? Why, none other than that comfortable and comforting Church into which he was reluctantly born and raised. He, the hedonist, he, the unbeliever, he, who can so often mock through the nods and winks of understanding, he, the big lost child he always knew himself to be, he who loved the established forms and rituals even while he smiled at their pretentiousness... And in this poem, requested by a viewer who was perhaps stung into remembrance by his laughter and his gentle mockery, we see him naked at last, on his knees before the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty, whose other face (for in this puzzling existence everything has at least two aspects) is that of the gentle Redeemer whose love holds us up through the worst calamity, whose forebearance can forgive even the unforgiveable. The music is from the second movement of Elgar's Piano Quintet in A minor. St Saviour's, Aberdeen Park, Highbury, London, N. With oh such peculiar branching and over-reaching of wire trolley-bus standards pick their threads from the London sky diminishing up the perspective, Highbury-bound retire threads and buses and standards with plane trees volleying by and, more peculiar still, that ever-increasing spire bulges over the housetops, polychromatic and high. Stop the trolley-bus, stop! And here, where the roads unite of weariest, worn-out London - no cigarettes, no beer, no repairs undertaken, nothing in stock, alight; for over the waste of willow-herb, look at her, sailing clear, a great Victorian church, tall, unbroken and bright in a sun that's setting in Willesden and saturating us here. These were the streets my parents knew when they loved and won - the brougham that crunched the gravel, the laurel-girt paths that wind, geranium-beds for the lawn, Venetian blinds for the sun, a separate tradesman's entrance, straw in the mews behind, just in the four-mile radius where hackney carriages run, solid Italianate houses for the solid commercial mind. These were the streets they knew; and I, by descent, belong to these tall neglected houses divided into flats. Only the church remains, where carriages used to throng and my mother stepped out in flounces and my father stepped out in spats to shadowy stained-glass matins or gas-lit evensong and back in a country quiet with doffing of chimney hats. Great red church of my parents, cruciform crossing they knew - over these same encaustics they and their parents trod bound through a red-brick transept for a once familiar pew where the organ set them singing and the sermon let them nod and up this coloured brickwork the same long shadows grew as these in the stencilled chancel where I kneel in the presence of God. Wonder beyond Time's wonders, that Bread so white and small veiled in golden curtains, too mighty for men to see, is the Power which sends the shadows up this polychrome wall, is God who created the present, the chain-smoking millions and me; beyond the throb of the engines is the throbbing heart of all - Christ, at this Highbury altar, I offer myself To Thee.

St Saviour's, Aberdeen Park, Highbury, London, N.
With oh such peculiar branching and over-reaching of wire
trolley-bus standards pick their threads from the London sky
diminishing up the perspective, Highbury-bound retire
threads and buses and standards with plane trees volleying by
and, more peculiar still, that ever-increasing spire
bulges over the housetops, polychromatic and high.
Stop the trolley-bus, stop! And here, where the roads unite
of weariest, worn-out London - no cigarettes, no beer,

Only the church remains, where carriages used to throng
and my mother stepped out in flounces and my father stepped out in spats
