What scares me as the population ages - is the TAZER. I see it used
on-the-fly as a shaking finger or drawn night-stick. To many victims
were in the right and an over jealous officer or person expecting
total control and acts like a dictator. Kinda like the woman the other
day buying some things and got an emergence call from the husband about
their child in school - she ran out font of the store and talked the private
talk - teller called the cops - cop would not listen or find out what happened.
The cop kept driving her backwards with demands and finally shot and arrested
her. She could be your wife with a call from you about your sick kid.

I wonder what happened to the kid during all of this - Dad knew Mom had
it covered. When was it possible for the wife to call the husband or
the child or a lawyer to do the same ?

Presence is one thing, cow-tow as a subservient is another.

I have never been in agreement that the Tazer isn't a deadly weapon.
Why is it used as a knockdown/disable/avoid constitutional right machine?

One is "few"

The leading cause of death among police officers, is traffic
accidents.

The majority of police shootings, are shootings done with their own
weapon, after having it taken away from them by the suspect, who didnt
have one of his own.

Shall we disarm all police officers for their own safety?

I dunno.

I think _I_ would feel safer.

The English Bobbies really impressed me.
They were approachable.

They didn't seem like tough guys - which many police officers here seem
to want to be.

And, since they are never around when a crime is being comitted...
