service firearms, they shouldn't have shot them with the taser either.

Tasers are VERY much less deadly than a conventional firearm.

I would imagine that you would also say that if they wouldnt have shot
a suspect with their firearm, they shouldnt use a night stick on them,
as there have been many recorded deaths via blunt trauma etc when
night sticks have been used.

Correct?
