A taser is not ‘deadly force’. Most city cops have to be tased once a year to qualify to use the device. Do you think that would happen if they were ‘deadly’?
There are a lot of poorly trained cops out there now - mainly because there a are lot of leftist, academic, idiot police chiefs. But let’s not all go knee jerk with every story. As conservatives we are supposed to analyze and evaluate.
Tasers may not be CLASSIFIED as ‘deadly force,’ but it’s inarguable that they cause death after death after death. Big thread on FreeRepublic a few months ago about a kid tagger who ran from the cops — and got tased to death.
We can debate about how many deaths constitute ‘rare,’ but there is simply no debate that tasers are killing people in cities all over the US.
If someone dies, it’s deadly force.
