You missed his point. Common sense and professionalism has flown out the window in the Law Enforcement arena. Police used to SETTLE disputes, they didn't HAVE to or FEEL they had arrest people or draw weapons all the time. The taser is becoming an excuse to use such force because it is considered "non-lethal". The result, no common sense anymore.

People used to whine so much about being shot with a .357 too.

The way I see it, the biggest drawback with tazers is that more derelicts are alive to whine after the fact.
