8. Stop assaulting the Post. They are giving light to the fact... |
|
that there are real problems with the Taser. I'd like to see the FBI raid the Taser plant in Scottdale and shut them down.

I wasn't saying anything negative. I was just saying they have had a lot of stories on this.

11. I'm not "assaulting", all I am saying is that the Post.. |
|
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 03:22 PM by AX10
is bringing light to a serious problem with the weapon.
It sounds like you are attacking the post with the term, 'beating up on the taser'.

9. If that were a suspect doing that to a Cop you would say... |
|
that the tape's quality was just fine. Those cops are PIGS, period.
There is no need to 14 hits with that damn thing.

16. You post a video clip |
|
that no one can tell if these shadows are from a night at the local river campfire or what.......You can't even make out that there are people in it. So now you want me to comment objectively....I just did. The video tells us nothing.

5. Why would they do that? |
|
What possible defense could they have to justify doing this to someone lying on the ground?

14. Supposedly they ordered him to put his hands behind his back |
|
And were repeatedly shocking him to get him to obey.

15. Most taser use is aggravated assault under color of law, pure and simple |
|
They're advertised as the 'usually' non-lethal alternative to shooting someone with bullets.
Okay, fine, then that should completely define the rule for their use: don't taser anyone unless the alternative is shooting them with your pistol. If they haven't done anything such that you could justify shooting them with your pistol, then don't them with the taser either.
That should keep all the grannies, schoolchildren, and simple dafties safe, at least.
