12. Ok my question to this is....
In your opinion is there never a time that force (potentially lethal force) is called for to end a threat. Now I am not talking about "he jes needed killin'" but are there times where force is necessary?

If yes do you not agree there are situation where an act needs to STOP NOW!!! and as such a level of force that is lethal or potentially lethal is necessary not to kill but as a side effect of stopping?

If you disagree I don't disagree with you in theory as I would love to have the ability to set phasors to stun so to speak but we simply don't have that ability.

That being said tasers have been abused and many folks have been made to believe they are 100% safe, which is untrue. They are a force option and potentially dangerous.
