its time to go back to bullets

what??

Having 50,000 volts drain into the human body could have a risk of "adverse cardiac event."

inconceivable!!

wheres ben franklin?

Warning: Don't tase 'em, bro!

Pepper Spray really sucks!!! They do not want to babysit them.

I think a real question that has to be addressed is:

Can the police use pain to enforce compliance? If so, when? What are the guidelines or limitations on the use of pain to enforce compliance?

Taser is today's version of the choke hold.

Cops should use the taser as last resort. Some cops have become taser happy.

Stick with your 357 magnum, 45 ACP or 9mm or 12 ga. Those tasers can be deadly - LOL.

May I Suggest Using the Nightstick Officer

If i were to be causing such a scene that the police felt that i needed to be taken down, id still take my chances with a taser over a 9mm. or a Night stick, Or a Choke hold, or Shot gun, Or Police Dog, Or .306 rifle round, or a bean bag out of a shotgun, or a rubber bullet.

Its a toss up with the pepper spray.

I have been stun gunned. (my buddy's girlfriend got one for her graduation present for when she was in college, we had to try it out =P )
I have not been sprayed..

The stun gun took about an hour and a half for all residual effects to go away. Though i was sore the next day.

dont know if a taser is different, but the voltage was similar.

As a practical joke my buddy was stunned on his dick with stun baton. He collapsed and screamed for a long time. I hAve always wanted to mace somebody and tase them when they cannot see.

Yer buddy's an idiot.
His friends are idiots.
And yer an idiot.

K?

Be Well.

Cops kill folks with these supposedly non lethal weapons all the time. Cops need to be seriously regulated as to where and how these things are to be used.

Too many lazy, useless, sadistic fuckhead cops out there abusing the shiat out of these things.

Worse than regular criminals sez Spud.

Much worse.

Be Well.

Hmmm...

Zapped by a Taser with a chance of dying or shot with a 9 mm and have an even higher chance of dying, being disabled, spending long time in a hospital..

Taser, definitely.

Part of a force continuum for police. Words, batons, pepper spray, taser, hand gun, long gun/shot gun.

Misused, a problem. Properly used, no problem.

Given what the vast majority of our police have to deal with every day, especially with so many people NOT willing to defend themselves, this becomes a non-issue. Just an additional piece of information.

Biggest problems with tasers is that cops are idiots.

i think the taser is used too much and a lot of times unneccesarily. grandmas have been tased. children under 12 have ben tased. fat out of shape people who can't really resist much have been tased. the tasing cops never get in any trouble. are there any specific guidelines on when to use a taser? doesn't seem like it.

Tasers have their roll as a tool of deterance and compliance as part of the officers tool set.

I would imagine that a fair portion of taser use does not meet the "equal force" use clause.

I would also imagine the psychological impact of the potential use of the taser on the perp is one notch below that of the "shick-shick" sound a shotgun makes when a round is chambered!

Enforcing compliance? Wrong. The use of tasers was sold to the public as an alternative of deadly force--to SAVE lives.

The taser surpasses run-of-the-mill police brutality. If the officer is justified to use deadly force, aka being attacked, then taser or pistol is appropriate. But tasing a drunk person for merely mouthing off, etc. is attemped murder.

Yer buddy's an idiot.
His friends are idiots.
And yer an idiot.
K?
Be Well.

So says the idiot that thinks it is funny to type like a 2nd grader.

"Enforcing compliance? Wrong. The use of tasers was sold to the public as an alternative of deadly force--to SAVE lives."

I'm sure others have said this but if you look at how tasers are used, this is bullshit.

Cops use deadly force when their lives are in danger. In what situation have you heard of a cop using a taser when someone is posing an immediate, credible threat to his life? NEVER.

Pull a gun on a cop or run at one with a knife and you're getting shot. Tasers are used when cops get frustrated because someone isn't listening to them.

Zapped by a Taser with a chance of dying or shot with a 9 mm and have an even higher chance of dying, being disabled, spending long time in a hospital.

What planet are you from. No one has ever been shot with a taser when a gun was an option. The only reason a cop will use a taser is when they can't use their gun. When a cop does use a gun they don't shoot to incapacitate their mark, they unload the gun after the guy is down, just to avoid a lawsuit.

Jackass says: "I hAve always wanted to mace somebody and tase them when they cannot see."

...and he accuses spud of being an idiot? Jackass doesn't have any balls. How's he planning to muster up the nerve to shoot a man in the back with a stun gun and then mace him?

Clearly, we need Tasers in the public schools.

I believe the dude you refer to has some serious mental issues, burning ants with a magnifying glass has apparently grown into bigger and better things.
