You need to remember:

The Taser was designed to be an alternative for police instead
of their firearm. Ergo, a last resort before killing you.

It is NOT supposed to be the equivalent of a human cattle
prod. It is NOT supposed to be a compliance device.

A thought went through my head earlier in that what would
happen if you hit a police officer with a taser ? Or even
threatened them with one. . .

Time after time Taser use is justified because it's a non
lethal device. So, with that in mind could the officer
justify killing you ( with a firearm ) if they know the
device you wield isn't deadly ? Would be difficult to
justify the use of deadly force against you when you aren't
wielding a device capable of it. . . .

Don't get me wrong, most police have a sense of what's
right and what isn't. However, it's the cowboys of the
order that are staining their reputation as a whole.

In other news, wait till the handheld version of this
lovely little gem gets into the wrong hands:

All police officers are tasered with the equipment they use so they know what the effect is.

It IS a compliance weapon. Get on the fucking ground or I will taser you. or Get on the fucking ground or I will shoot you in the face. Which one would you like to hear.
If you have a gun or knife in hand guess which one it will be.

And are you trying to say Here I am with a taser im my hand and a cop in front of me. The cop can shoot me. If I get him tasered before he tasers me I have him on the ground and can kill him with the knife in my pocket. Its all about what situation they are in.

Go talk to cops that have to deal with this shit every day. Then talk to me about some fuckup that got tasered.

You talk like tasers are a bad thing. Beat you head in or get tasered I will take tarer any day. I can get up and walk away from a taser.
