[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 233140, member: 6271"] klmno: In general using anything that inflicts pain to gain control over another person is bad practice. Remember pepper spray? When the fact that folks who eat and handle peppers would not be effected as desired by pepper spray it dawned on me how true that is. I eat and handle hot peppers alot. I have felt the burn in my ears, up my nose and in my eyes and you know it would not result in me burying my face in a mud puddle. I like it. The problem with any tool in the hands of law enforsement is anytime it is used casually. And those officers are sometimes just all pumped up and intolerant. In terms of our children who are hopefully going to live through this phase of needing authority to intimidate them into sane and rational sencible behavoir....when a uniform shows up all pressed and shining shoes with the weapons NOT raising the ire and getting tazed, or billy sticked or directed at the point of a gun IS THE POINT. The naked duranged man who was tazed and fell to his death was another example of inproper use of a tazer by police. What did the officer think would happen? The naked man was on a ledge of a building. Gravity is consistant. Tazing the man on the ledge guareenteed the man would fall. Waiting would not have assured the man would not fall. As an salaried worker, in my opinion standing there and talking to the guy was the only choice. Tazing was out of the question. [/QUOTE]
