Too often police officers have become too reliant on gadgets like tasers. They may be necessary at times, but officers need to rely on their own physical strength more frequently. There have been a few instances of smaller male officers and women officers being overpowered when the taser or pepper spray did not do the job. This is a problem that stems from equal opportunity employment practices.

I disagree. I am no lover of cops. In fact, quite the opposite. For the most part I consider them brown shirts.

That all being said, I think they need to qwell things as soon as possible. If I were a cop and I asked someone to turn around to be cuffed, I would not mess around. It is black and white for me.

Do what the cop sez or get put down, NOW! And the taser allows them to do just that. No choke holds, no videos of cops beating people. The cop sez turn around, the guy doesn’t, the guy is squirming on the ground. Problem solved.
