I think stronger guidelines need to be created by the police on how and when tasers can be used on citizens. Way too many non-violent and innocent people are being tased. Please contact your local officials and tell them you either want tasers banned or you want tasers strongly regulated on how and when the police can use them.

22.7% of all statistics are made up.... but I suppose if you "round up" you can get closer to 25%

Tasers aren't safe! They can kill someone with a medical problem and F you up, if hit in the right spot. My nephew's a cop. His cop budys were fooling around in the station and shot him in the knee with a taser. His knee swelled up and he's been walking with a leg brace for the last 3 weeks.
I know I wouldn't like to get shot with a taser. So if a cop gave me a firm warning to follow his commands or get tasered, I'll do what I'm told.
Have you ever heard the name "Rodney King". That's what happens when you don't do as you're told. If the cops had tasers, none of that crap would have happened.

25% are harmless or non-violent huh? meaning seventy 5% are accountable and violent. the opportunities for violence against an officer or a topic wherein somebody else must be harmed are bigger than blunders. Plus the place did you get your "records" from? at first, that's no longer a law enforcement officials interest to be sure who's accountable and who isn't. Their interest is to serve the wide-unfold public believe and uphold the regulation. law enforcement officials placed their lives on the line daily dealing with scum of the earth at their very own very own possibility. blunders are certain to take place despite if that's for the ideal of the greater advantageous solid. it is in comparison to they are out on the streets shooting tasers at random human beings. If the law enforcement officers are in contact there's a solid probability there's a reason. So please Mr Officer, tase the F away my solid guy. Taser him, taser me, taser anybody. once you're in hassle, only call 911, and correct for the doorstep the police will come. in the event that they arrest you and supply you a smack; that's because of fact which you're accountable, no longer reason you're black.

That means that 3/4 of citizens tasered by police were either guilty or violent. What about statistics for non- citizens?

I don't know about that. I saw a video with a woman that was arguing and wouldn't show identification or registration and wouldn't get out of the car when the policeman asked her to. She got tasered, and although it was pretty funny how she reacted (screaming and moaning), she definitely deserved it. I don't think policeman use their tasers on innocent people. Most of them have good judgement, that's why they are cops.

If these innocent or non-violent morons would do as the police asked then they would not get tased. I think if they are so disrespectful to the police and resist arrest or don't answer questions when asked we should just shoot them. They probably have no business here anyway... They are just going to breed and populate our country with more idiots & we have plenty already.

And this supposed fact comes from where?
for guardrailjim re rodney king:they did have tasers and used them I think three times before and at the very beginning of the video...unfortunately they had little effect...tasers were less effective way back then.

innocent of what? not doing what they are told by the police officer
non-violent? so a cop has to wait until he is actually attacked by the person who is not following his commands before he can use non-lethal force?

It's better than being shot for resisting arrest.
