“Unless the police had a situation where bullets were appropriate the tazer never should have left the officer’s belt.”
I fully agree. The TAZOR is a lesser form of “deadly force” and should only be used in the stead of bullet.
Except when an officer’s life is in immediate and obvious danger, a TAZOR should not be used.....and never a merely a means to make someone comply. I do not want to be dogmatic though...I am certain there are other legitimate uses for a TAZOR.
He only used the tazor because the swat team was on a donut break.
