Alot of cops are turning to tasers as a quick ender to confrontation regardless of risk and hazards in doing it.
I can understand if a cops life or someone elses is in danger or if the cop is up against someone that has an advantage.Using this type of force on a 100 lb girl because he didn't feel like running that day is pure stupidity, or a cop will use it on a woman because she doesn't want to get out of her car.
A taser is a potentially lethal tool, partially because of the shock it delivers to the human body but also the danger it puts that person in to depending on their environment. A police officer needs to treat it as such and be aware of the potential risk it carries to whom ever they use it on.

This is as dumb as a box of rocks, every police officer who carries a taser has been tased , they have extensive training courses in regards to their use and and their legal obligations when it is used they qualify with it regularly just like their duty weapon.

tasers are considered non lethal force that's why we carry guns, those are lethal force, it's a tough choice sometimes to tase a guy when you would really rather shoot him but as usual we try to be nice.
Yes, every police officer is tasered in academy that doesn't mean its gonna make them think before dropping someone else. Tasers are considered non lethal your right that doesn't mean they wont kill people in the right circumstance.
I am not saying dont use tasers I am saying dont use them in a situation where you could easily control with some physical force. A 200lb guy tasering a drugged up 100lb girl because he was too lazy to just tackle her is stupidity.
If you have the mindset of wishing you could shoot someone over tasering because they pissed you off. You shouldn't remain a cop or you became one for the wrong reasons.

Your assumptions are idiotic. Somewhere along the line you have come to think that whatever confrontation between a police officer and an asshole should be John Wayne style "Fair".
Fuck that, where is it written that a police officer should risk any harm to himself while tryinf to subdue a suspect? There are enough oportunitied for an officer to get injured during everyday operations, why should he not use whatever non lethal tool in his arsenal at his discretion to take a perp in hand without risking anything.
Yes there has been a Lot of use of tasers over the last few years. That is because they were not widely available until a few years ago. Before that it was either a fist fight, dog pile or deadly force.
I have done a lot of securith work over the years and been a shitload of fight with drunks and other idiots, usually managed to pound them into submission, but along the way picked up more than one scar. Fuck that, I wish I had had a taser available back then, I would be much better off and so would have a lot of the guys I hit with a mag light or sent to the ER with a disloacted shoulder, broken bones etc..

Golf Clap for the FHP officer
