The taser seems to be becoming a “fad” with police. That isn’t a good thing.
Unlike the various traffic stop tasing, the police in this case had reason to worry about a weapon. As you can see on other threads I have little sympathy for over use of the taser, but they say they were responding to a report of gun fire. And according to the article were very apolgetic in the aftermath.
If they legally broke into this house and if there really was a report of a gun shot, then I don’t have much of a problem. The biggest concern I have is if this guy only in a towel really had his hands out of sight? That is a bit hard to figure out.
Shotguns are much more effective.
I agree. Where did they expect him to be hiding a gun? Up his butt?
