[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 232404, member: 3419"] Dazed, yes. [I]These people may have had health issues which meant they were in a weakened state, but perhaps the stress of the tasering was the final nail in the coffin.[/I] Donna, I agree. But you're always going to get cops who are too "enthusiastic" and then it's just another form of abuse. (Shades of Rodney Whoever in LA) [I]It all falls back on them being used as they are supposed to be used and not [U]mis[/U]using them. [/I] I spoke to my husband, who has had patients--cops--who have practice with-them. They are "required" to "volunteer" to use them on themselves and one another b4 they go out on the street. He said one guy has a lower back that has been messed up for 2 wks because of it and he has big welts on his back. I'm wondering if there will be a redesign by the manufacturer at some point. They don't have settings, and you really can't use the same amt of force on a 250 lb man as you can on a rail-thin teenager. I, too, am appalled that they are available to the general public. I suspect they can be sold, but that you cannot own them or use them with-o a license. [/QUOTE]
