“Tasers should be classified as lethal weapons”.

However, that would mean that Taser could only be used when lethal force is justified. This would mean that the gun or the taser could be used in a lethal use of force situation. If you are justified and feel the need to use lethal force then why would you use a tool that would only shock the person? If the gun is used, the only reason to use it is to terminate the person it is pointed at. I wish we had data on the number of taser uses compared to number of deaths occurring after someone was tased.

Tasers save lives, but the criminal-coddling FReepers think it's too much for their petty criminal buddies.

I agree and think we should go back to batons.
