Let's see, given a choice between a night stick to the head or groin and a Taser, I'd take the Taser. Given a choice between having someone kneel on me so I can't breathe, I'd take the Taser. Given the choice between a bullet to the heart or a Taser, I'd take the Taser every time.
Well given those choices, I would take the tazer also. I have heard and read stories about tazer friendly cops who taze folks who aren’t doing anything but talking to them. There one such story which happened in down town Ptown about 3 years ago. The cop told a person who was the friend of the perpetrator to leave the conversation. This all happened in a park smart in public, right behind Dante’s bar. The cop (in my opinion) can not tell someone to leave a public area, when they have not broken any laws. The cop told the friend to walk away, the friend did not, stating “you don’t have the right to tell me where to stand’, the cop got frustrated and tazed his ass. The friend sued. Don’t remember what was the outcome.
Frickin trigger friendly tazer cops scare me.
