Too many officers are falling into the “when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail” problem with regard to Tasers. It’s some LEOs’ Magic Bullet solution to nearly every difficult arrest.

Hit the nail on the head.

Whether it is this case, the political stunt at the Kerry speach, or the kid at USC last year, lazy cops want to use their toys rather than muss their hair.

In this case, the wheelchair bound women could have been easily disarmed.

The real threat is the lowly standard of which populate the ranks of police.

Well certain segments of the public are tired of police shooting unruly people.

And if you litigate the taser out of existence, as the baton has all but been litigated out of existence, we’ll have a lot more police shootings.
