So, do cops even carry nightsticks anymore? Tasers? If so, why?After Rodney King, police departments began ditching their tried and true batons for tasers, which many police officers found complicated and unreliable. Some argue this has led to more fatal shootings as cops reach for their firearm first, rather than take a chance that their taser might not function properly.

Makes sense. A situation like this one, though, was tailor-made for a nightstick.
