Taser Employees Appear To Troll Anti-Taser Documentary With Fake Reviews

Killing Them Safely is a documentary taking issue with the ‘Dear @OfficialTASER, when trolling my film online, remind your employees to not use their real names. https://t.co/zB5IzA1C3E

Some of the reviews appear to be outright lying (“I’m kind of indifference to Taser devices”), while others simply choose to pan the movie outright. The offending reviews appear to have been removed since, although the screenshots are of very real LinkedIn accounts.

Taser, for its part, didn’t deny the accusations, founding member Steve Tuttle telling Forbes, “I can’t control our employees in what they do in their off hours any more than I can tell a police officer when to use a Taser…. Does anyone in their right mind think that anybody that works at Taser would like this documentary?”

In any case, the fake-review trolling seems to have backfired: Killing Them Softly is sitting pretty with five-star reviews on Amazon and iTunes.
