Tasers Are Safe, Bro!

The law enforcement people have been catching hell over the use of tasers to subdue law breakers. In the last couple of years they seem to be using them more and more and being caught on film more and more. The public has had an outcry on their use. Seems some people have been hurt seriously and even died because they were tased. The two that come to mind are the one where a student at a Kerry function was tackled by 6 cops and then tased while on the floor. Or the one where the woman was tased and fell into the side of the car. Neither one of these seem to be extremely violent.

Never fear, a new report has tested taser and found them safe. Who did the study? Who else the Dept. of Justice. Now there was an impartial source.

I was never concerned about the safety of the weapon; I am sure it went through extensive testing before it was put into the hands of whackos. My question is are the ones using them safe? I question the judgment used by the officers, not the weapon. The incidents seen on media sites, the officers seem to be quick to use the weapon.

I am so pleased to learn that the Taser is safe. Now they need to do a study and see if the officers are safe to use the weapon. Their actions are the problem, not the weapon itself.

I speak, You listen!
