Just days after the well-publicized death of a man in a Vancouver airport following the use of a Taser to subdue him, several more have died after being "tased," including a 20-year-old man from Frederick, MD. Are stun-guns too dangerous or is police training the issue? We look into the new controversy surrounding so-called "nonlethal" weapons.

A generation ago, it was unheard of for supermarkets to have their own sushi chefs or nutritionists. Today, eclectic and high-end offerings are increasingly the norm, with grocery stores like Wegmans and Trader Joe's staking their claim in our region. That's putting pressure on chains like Giant -- and sparking unexpected controversy in some communities. Join Kojo as we examine the changing dynamics of the local supermarket industry.
