Police tasers?

Question

some say its for restraints some say punishment i say both what about you?

Answer 1

its a form of restraint and yes it is better then deadly force.

Tazers don't kill all the drugs in the suspect system kills

Answer 2

since tasers have came out there have been fewer incidents where cops need to actually use deadly force.  i dont think it is punishment.. i think it is a good idea if you dont want to die for being stupid.

Answer 3

I use a tazer, OFTEN.... and I do not use it as punishment, I use it as a tool to aid an arrest.

Lets get this clear right out the door.....

Okay I look at a guy and realize that I could take them, though it may take time and the risk of us exchanging blood and the fact that I may have to break a bone or he gets a broken bone increases...

Those kind of damage last a LONG TIME, whereas the pain starts when the tazer turns on and stops the moment the tasers "5 second" ride turns off...

I am not going to say there are times it hasn't been abused... I know I do and the people I work with use "The minimum amount of force needed to detain the subject and stop the overt action"

Answer 4

Works either way as far as i care.

These people getting tased are breaking the law in the first place, so why the h**l should we booh hooh over it.

Answer 5

Last resort to compliance, with out the use of a night stick.

Answer 6

An acceptable alternative to deadly force.
