Taser Guns

Jump to Comments

The use of taser guns to apprehend suspected felons seems to be becoming more prevelent each day. I have to ask the question who s side are the police on. When they are called to a specific problem involving someone who is or maybe violent who makes the decicision as to what piece of armoury they use. The fact that they carry a Baton a Gun, Pepper Spray and Taser plus anything else that Im not aware of seems to me that as most incidents involve at least two or more police, this adds up to quite  attack force. So why is it  when deaths occur from the use by police ignorance of the weapons they have swinging from there belts from every country that use this type of “crime prevention tactics” there is no general pooling of information to prevent the inevitable.  In the USA last year a disturbed naked man was tasered whilst on a ledge about 20 meters from the ground and fell to his death. But that was tradgedy one, the second tradgedy was the officer who gave the order to his fellow officer to use the taser took his own life due to the shame he thought it might bring to his family and children. Thats just one incident where a taser has caused two unneccesary deaths. Recently a police office fired a taser at a man driving a vehicle, what type of idiot was he, recently another death in the eastern Australia and the latest one where a man was tasered and the gun was fired 28 times. To me that was not intended apprehension, it was downright   “Target Practice” and the perpetrator should be charged with excessive use of force causing death. What right does a person that becomes a policeman have the right to take life without the full knowledge of the suspect. If a suspect has a loaded gun and has fired it he deserves what he gets but someone with a screwdriver opr stick can surely be apprehended by using the array of weapons the police carry with them. But my point is this, all the things that have gone wrong around the world by using these weapons without sufficient knowledge or training should be collated and issued to every police officer so he/she understands the dangers they can put themselves in by taking an unneccesary life. Im sure it would be hard to live with the thought in your heart and mind that you had committed a licenced murder. The day after you wished you could turn the clock back, but its too late.
