Whatever. The tazer is better than a baton or peppermace? Consider that hard force tactics such as a baton would have not been realistic as the kid wasn't in an active agressor mode..at least not that we could see on the video. Pepper mace, if it was in foam form would have been ok, otherwise the area was too closed in and just about everyone could have been affected by the mist of the spray as the air currents in the room spread droplets of the spray around. The only two real options was to Tazer or tackle. They chose to tazer. Me personally, I prefer to tackle...but then my department's policy allows me that oprtion, perhaps theirs doesn't.
