According to the story that should be head wounded taser happy cop. Tasers relace guns and night sticks because the chance of death/serious injury is lower. Much lower but not zero. Take away Tasers and what is a cop under assult going to do?
I don't like the idea of cops running around with these portable electric chairs because they're probably told they're safe to use, well obviously they're not.
“Take away Tasers and what is a cop under assult going to do?”
Oh, I don’t know, get their uniforms dirty, break a nail, stub their widdle toes?
How about doing what officers did before these citizen-torture devices were allowed?
They took the job, THEY should bear the burden of these confrontations not every citizen sap that dares to offend their new found fluffiness.
Between this and sound cannons law enforcement is starting to appear like a bunch of pantywaists.
I lose a little more respect for them with every new story of some old person, sick person, young person, or crippled person that these shock therapists abuse.
The problem, and I don’t see that it was working here, is that many cops use the taser for any and no reason, just because they are allowed to use it. Getting tased because you question the reason for the ticket you are getting is a bit much. but it has happened. Its like shooting the dog when you go to a citizen’s door. It is regarded as a perk.
