Comments on: Dear Police, stop carrying tasers (carry a big stick instead) http://thewaronbullshit.com/2007/10/28/tasers/ Take No Prisoners Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:39:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Mr. fiveoh http://thewaronbullshit.com/2007/10/28/tasers/#comment-2102 Mr. fiveoh Thu, 14 Aug 2008 05:45:28 +0000 http://thewaronbullshit.com/2007/10/28/tasers/#comment-2102 Jh thank you for that support. Apparantly you are a law enforcement officer and have some clue as to what I have alluded to. I do understand, that even when used correctly, a taser can cause an individual (usually with previous heart conditions) to have severe reactions, including death. A taser, just like a baton, is a less than lethal measure taken before lethal force is applied. A taser is a tool on an officer's waistbelt that does just want Jh has mentioned, let an officer go home at the end of the day. I do believe that some officers are too "taser happy" before using other methods of persuasion or de-escalation, and it could be a result of their training, or just an ill-guided use of a taser. But as I've said before, a taser is an excellent tool and should not be disregarded as such. I'm looking for comments from either the original poster or of the others who have chimed in. Thank you.

Tasers are a very effective tool, and I agree with Mr.fiveoh on his Feb 1st posting. I’m for using any method that will let me go home at the end of the day.

An individual holding a gun, whom had already fired shots, was tased instead of shot to death. You all can keep criticizing this useful tool but I'm telling you I've seen these things in action time and time again with nothing but positive things to say about them. Recent studies show that there is no interruption in the heart rate of those tased. Yes it is true that a taser may have caused some individuals to go into cardiac arrest, but I'd be willing to bet that more people have choked to death on lollipops. Why not make them illegal?

I feel a lot better knowing my wife has a pink taser in her purse than to be out somewhere unarmed. Like it or not, the world has gotten crazier and having some form of self-defense ready is not a bad thing. <a href="http://pink-taser-for-women.binocularsstoresite.info/" rel="nofollow">Pink Taser For Women</a> The press is just as full of stories where tasers saved lives as well as has taken lives.
