I'm sure you know what a taser is. It's a tool the police use to subdue people.
This isn't about their usefullness, nor about the people who have died because their hearts couldn't handle it. If an individual is in a situation that the police decide is worthy of the taser, they are probably not a good citizen.
I'm allergic to nonsense.
Here's the nonsense:
They love to show on the news how police officers who use Tasers have taken a shock from a taser. If you haven't seen it, they have a trainee stand in the middle of the room. They have another person stand behind them ready to catch them. Then they Tase the person. Now, first, is it from one of the guns the police actually use which sends two prods or basically fishing hooks through their clothes into their bodies? The kind the police use that have to be taken out in the emergency room? Second, why is someone there to catch them if the lesson is "this is what happens"?
If you really want them to empathise with someone who has been tased, tase them, let them fall to the ground, if they hit their head, too bad, then, tell them to put their hands behind their backs. If they don't do it within two seconds, tase them again and request the same thing. If they still can't, ask again. If they still don't, tase them again while having someone run in and start kicking them and someone else put their knee on the back of the individual's neck etc. etc. like real life.
I know I sound like a whiner. Go to Youtube and type in Taser and see if you don't change your mind.
Police claiming everyone on the force who uses a taser has experienced a taser is ....Nonesense.
