MORE Taser BS

Anyone that joined a police service know in advance that they will be risking their lives and they also know how much they will be compensated.

it sounds like you believe that these cops are making a fortune putting their lives at risk every day. they might do ok if they stay on the force for a number of years but my no means are they getting rich being a cop. all i'm trying to say is that using a taser is another form of controling an unruly suspect.

you ever watch cops??? you ever see when it takes 4 or 5 officers to take down a guy or girl thats high and out of control. there are 4 or 5 cops risking their own well being to just subdue a suspect. would it not be easier to just keep that out of control person at a distance and zap them. as long as the officers are trained on how to use these devices I just dont see a problem with it.

This is why we need to nip this taser crap in the bud here in Canada before it ends up like the police state to the south:

When they start this sh@t with wives and daughters (and our favourite SP's) I get really pissed.
Yeah but its the Canadians that are killing people with tasers. Maybe the electrical currency goes up with the dollar?

The question is, are they really trained in how to use the Taser properly and when it is appropriate to us it. Also, there is mountng evidence (bona fide) that the Taser is not all thet harmless, with respect to death. All we have heard and led to believe are the opinions of Taser International and the police forces. Not really neutral sources of information, are they?
