I have to rely on the scientific community, which said that in those 270 cases, when they examined the science, the taser did not have to do with the outcome of those incidents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"885413\" data-originallang=\"en\">In regard to the U.S. military, there are certain risks. We do cause incapacitation where you can fall to the ground, and that can certainly result in an injury, but it's going to be much more similar to an athletic type of injury. I would also point to the United States Department of Justice study that recently looked at 1,000 incidents and showed there were roughly two or three that resulted in that exact type of an injury. Out of 1,000 incidents, it's a very, very low injury rate.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"885412\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur, sauf votre respect, il n'existe pas de solution parfaite. Je dois me fier \u00e0 l'avis des milieux scientifiques selon lesquels, dans ces 270 cas, d'apr\u00e8s les faits, notre pistolet n'avait rien \u00e0 voir avec les d\u00e9c\u00e8s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"885413\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est des militaires am\u00e9ricains, il existe certains risques. Le pistolet immobilise, c'est-\u00e0-dire que la personne touch\u00e9e tombe au sol et qu'elle peut certainement se blesser, mais la blessure ressemblera beaucoup plus \u00e0 une blessure r\u00e9sultant de la pratique d'un sport. Je souligne \u00e9galement l'\u00e9tude men\u00e9e par le D\u00e9partement de la justice des \u00c9tats-Unis qui a r\u00e9cemment port\u00e9 sur 1 000 incidents et a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que, dans deux ou trois incidents, le pistolet avait caus\u00e9 le m\u00eame genre de blessure. Par rapport aux 1 000 incidents, c'est un taux de blessures extr\u00eamement faible. </p>"
