That is only one purpose of a taser, the other purpose is to safely take someone is resisting arrest into custody without physical contact required to subdue the person.

Physical contact is dangerous for the person being arrested and the officers.

This should be an obvious. This is the reason that tasers are so popular today in comparison to less than lethal only weapons such as bean bag rounds, mace, tear gas, etc..

Taser pain is between a bee sting and a wasp sting. Your imagination that this pain is like a cattle prod is just wrong. You should volunteer to get tased at least twice so you separate what you imagine vs reality.

If you think getting tased is like a bee sting, you have bigger problems with your imagination than I ever could.

Maybe so...but I would not be so cavalier, bee stings and wasp stings kill some people, so do tasers.

And yet it functions through the pain compliance of a temporarily debilitating electrical shock. A hi-tech cattle prod is still a cattle prod.
