“severely limit their use by cops”

Personally, I’d like to see every cop in the nation get up and walk out for good. It’s a crappy job for low pay and they put their lives on the line for citizens every day who then decide to second guess them or want to take any weapons they have away. Good luck defending yourself.—You deal with the suits from the “aggrieved” families of the thugs they raised and who are looking for a payday at your expense.

I watched the video, and it didn’t look like the taser had any effect on the guy at all. I probably would have tased him a second time, then written the taser off as broken, and whacked him with my nightstick.

What a load of bullhocky, how many threads have there been about the police overuseing/misusings these things.

There are too many people here on free republic who think that having a badge is excuse for behavior that no free society should allow.

If we can go back to the days of open carry for everyone, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Why don't they? Perhaps it isn't such a crappy job. Maybe the pay isn't so bad.

I stopped reading right there, because I don't agree; at least not around here, they are not "low paid".

Having said that, the flaw in embracing that argument is that, for most people, no amount of money is worth risking one's life for. It takes a special type of person to go there. Doesn't mean that his services are worth more than the president's.
