My son is a cop and he is not a fan of the taser. In his opinion they are not effective enough to count on them.

“My son is a cop and he is not a fan of the taser. In his opinion they are not effective enough to count on them.”

BINGO!

From watching THOUSANDS of hours of COPS/LIVE PD I can tell you that is absolutely correct.

Do you want to trust YOUR LIFE to a weapon that works “most of the time” or put another way, “some of the time”?

Taser fun facts:

“The site looked at 3,000 fatal police shootings between 2015 and 2017 that involved the use of a Taser and found that in 258 of the cases, a Taser “had failed to subdue someone before the police shot and killed them.””

“Are they deadly?
At least 500 people in the United States have died since 2001 after being shocked with stun guns during an arrest or while in jail, according to a 2012 statement by Amnesty International, which supports stricter limits on the use of Tasers.”

“In addition, in more than a third of the cases, the person became more aggressive after the device was used, which may have contributed to an escalation of the incident.”
