How did they arrest people before tasers? Oh yeah they just beat them with sticks.

You sound confused on this issue. Tasers allow the arrest of violent/resisting criminals without the use of lethal (bullets) force. Tasers are NEVER needed when law-abiding citizens behave properly and respond properly to police instructions.

It beats the hell out of being bullet happy doesn't it.
Sounds like someone got the wrong end of a taser gun and didn't enjoy the ride as much as they thought they would.
If people would just listen to the police they wouldn't need tasers or guns but we all know that isn't possible now don't we.

You got a good piont, lets beat people senseless, mace them so they can have asthmatics going for rides to the ER even if they are 10 feet away and not the target, and best of all I thing we need to go back to shooting people instead of taking them them alive. heck, there was a guy who robbed a liquor store near my house when I was younger, no tasers back then, so they shot him to death over a couple of hundred bucks, and he never hurt anyone during the robbery, much better than tasers dont you think.

Well first you need to understand the levels of force that a Police Officer is intitled to use in order to gain control of an individual
They go like this
Verbal
Hands on
Chemical / Mechanical
Deadly Force
The Pepper Spray, Baton, and Tasers are all in the Chemical Mechanical stage of use of force. The way that police officers are taught to use force is in two techniques. First use the next level up level of force that the subject is attempting to use on you. Secondly, if the first level of force doesn't work, use the next one up, all the way up to Chemical / Mechanical. Most departments dont have Tazers, like mine, but in some aspects Tazers are alot better to use on a subject than Peper spray, or deadly force. Wouldnt you agree?

might you fairly be shot with a bullet or hit with a taser? I for one am with the taser. i've got been on sufficient journey alongs to be certain how stupid anybody is with the police...greater cases than i can count variety they warn to individual to end, of direction the guy does not so as that they tase him. people who comply are taken care of rather nicely.

yes basicly they did beat them with thier night sticks ( ASP)
The taser is the best thing that the police have gotten in years, it protects the suspect from serious injury and it protects the officers risk.
They can be used indoors were OC can not be, and it is more effective than other methods normally.

oh they like them all right but they don't always work especially if your big it just pisses you off and gives you extra boost to fight back i like pulling them to me with the wires they are so confused like a little baby who cant figure out what went wrong.
get one use it on your self (only if you weigh 230 or more and don't have health problems) after the 3rd of 4 th one you get used to it and can control what you do easily using the juice for that extra go go

Im all for the taser..If I was a cop I would use it instead of my batton, gun or flashlight. I think the criminal gets a break when they get tasered.

Big Business all around.
Manufacturer give large discount to certain department to show success. Then it is wanted by all. They work. Lower cost to taxpayers, no surgeries to pay and no workers' comp bills, public may be safer probably happier. as Martha Stuart says "It's a good thing"
