re: Do I detect some distain for non-lethals?
Tasers have dramatically changed the way police deal with people. Apparently the standard procedure is to shoot the taser first and ask questions later. Tasers are frequently by police inappropriately.
There's a very, very long list of abusive use of tasers. Here's just a few..
Police Officer Tasers Handcuffed Woman Multiple Times
14 yr old girl Tasered in the Head
Officer Uses Taser On Pregnant Woman
68 Year Old Stroke Victim Tasered After Double Parking
No tasers used here. The cop just suddenly became trigger happy.
A plainclothes sheriff’s deputy shot and killed an unarmed 24-year-old man wearing only swim trunks.
