Episode 12 of the Boldly Go podcast continues the deep dive into addressing and rebutting claims made in a John Oliver segment criticizing Axon and the use of tasers. Rick Smith and Mike Wagers methodically challenge the narrative presented on the show, particularly around the topic of "excited delirium," the role of tasers in in-custody deaths, and the portrayal of Axon's practices.
This episode reaffirms Axon's mission to save lives through effective, less-lethal technology and sheds light on the broader public misconceptions around taser safety, law enforcement training, and the media's influence on public perception.
