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.

Have you heard of the new sound wave weapons that the Israelis plan to use in the West Bank? It is supposed to emit some sort of horrible sound wave that causes headache, dizziness and nausea

Such a scenario wouldn't be or become such if lawyers and courts and juries weren't so sue-happy.

But why SHOULD a police officer or hospital staffer risk injury when trying to restrain a wildly out of control girl who, given where and when they found her, is quite likely working as a prostitute and has a way above average chance of having AIDS? Tasering is mild compared to what often happens to 13 year old girls who roam the streets at 3AM while drunk, stoned, and spaced on Xanax.
