I was in Vegas last week, and I had the chance to chat with a pair of LV cops on Fremont Street, after I noticed both had Tasers in a kind of a cross-draw rig on their belts. Their pistols were in standard strong-side carry holsters. They were both enthusiastic about having the Taser option right at hand, it gives them an immediate option between "Halt!" and deadly force, when confronted with a belligerent drunk, or somebody "off his meds."

My son is NYPD; I'll have to ask him what they think of Tasers. It seems to be a reasonable option, but just above on this thread r9 says that they soemtimes do not work.

Taser is a welcomed addition of escalation in use of force as is physical restraint , OC spray, the PR24 ,K-9, sidearm, shotgun (lethal ammo and non-lethal bean bags, patrol rifle and SWAT....
