At the 2005 Arizona Press Club Awards, Mr. Anglen won first place in the Investigative reporting category. He was the recipient of the Don Bolles Award for his report entitled "Taser tied to 'independent' study that backs stun gun'. “As part of an extraordinarily thorough investigation of Taser International, Anglen uncovered ‘smoking gun’ documents that showed the manufacturer was heavily involved in the key study that purported the devices are safe. Anglen also uncovered conflicts of interest and documented wide-spread problems with Taser safety — a matter of national and international public interest.”
In 2006, Mr. Anglen was a runner up for the Arizona Press Club's Virg Hill Journalist of the Year award. Peter Bhatia of The Oregonian wrote “Robert Anglen is an investigative reporter, pure and simple. Clearly, he is a reporter who, once he sinks his teeth into something, stays with it until the story is done. His ongoing work around the company that makes Tasers speaks to that."

why did you not put this on the web???
Kirkpatrick said Smith was transported to Green Oaks Hospital for mental health treatment and was given medicine. He had a seizure and became unconscious and was then taken to Medical City Dallas Hospital where he was pronounced dead early Thursday morning.
Well, lets not leave out the fact that he was there for LESS THAN 5 mins before he was transported to Medical City? This potentially indicates that he was probably at least "half dead" when he arrived. Perhaps... that something happened at the DPD's hands - like tasing - that caused him to seize and go into cardiac arrest? Hmmmm?
