Should the Gardai carry tasers?

Question

They're not firearms and the would serve much better than a batton, I personally don't see why not. Anyone?

Answer 1

I think they should have them

Answer 2

i know a few of them and frankly i wouldnt trust them with anything more dangerous than a water balloon

Answer 3

Chroist no, they're lethal enough already without any weapons

Answer 4

No! They're grand as they are! lol!!

Answer 5

yes, a taser is less damaging than a batton,, a taser wont fracture your skull or cause a blood clot on your brain, although seeing the guards "handle their business" against the english supporters who rioted in lansdown road was a great day, the guards did not hold back and bet the s**t out of them. watch it

Answer 6

It is alright if they don't fire it too many times.

Answer 7

I think they should carry some kind of a weapon other that a batton. I think it is terrible in this day and age for them to be walking around with only battons. I tell you one thing alot of people there have more then battons, (Guns, Knives) and use them! Its not right to have our guards go out and face that with only a batton.

Answer 8

I dont think so either if they nned them the batons are fine. I know afew gards who i wouldnt even give a baton to.

Answer 9

Sure y not?

Im sure they wouldnt use them at every opportunity for a while, tho....
