... this is really sick and I probably should not admit this... but when they show a bad guy getting tased by a cop..... I always rewind on my TiVo....
There was a program on the Discovery channel a couple of years ago about non-lethal weapons. An interesting side note to the show was how the futureists predicted that when non lethal force is commonplace, we will lose our right to protest. If the gubmint wants to, they just use the force needed to send you home. Pretty soon, nobody has the nads to come out against the gubmint. The weapon being discussed was a microwave dish on a truck that heats your skin. You get no more than a sunburn, but nobody can withstand the pain more than a few seconds. Finally, 1984 in the 21st century. I would think a cop could subdue a 90 lb girl without a taser.
