Amazing.
You fail to address the alternatives to the taser (club, wrassling, choke hold, gun) which have all proven to be more fatal than the taser.

Again, HE DIDN’T TASER HIM BECAUSE OF A TICKET.
The doofus in the car escalated it to an arrest and when he resisted arrest, THEN he got the taser.

Go ahead and take away those tasers and watch the deaths and injuries climb from the remaining options.

Amazing? You are wrong about sticks and other means of compliance being more lethal than tasers. Tasers are second only to firearms in their lethality. In order to kill someone with a stick you have to hit them many times, tasers kill with one charge. He didn't taser him because of a ticket but he tasered him because he was a jerk cop who didn't know how to handle a situation. Tasers are a bad tool because they lead cops, and others, to think they are non-lethal when in reality they are lethal. They are overused. Training used to be given to cops on how to take down a suspect without the use of lethal force. I think that training has been discontinued because of tasers. Children are tased, young ones who offer no threat.

Do a google on taser deaths and then do one on night stick deaths and see which one kills most often.

This cop was an idiot. I have seen guys arrested for not signing a ticket and they never had to be tasered or beaten with a stick.

You want to live in a police state? Fine, move to Russia, or I hear Cuba has some openings now.
