Watch This Dumb Bitch Get Tazed

'Another Taser-less Death'
Last weekend, a 56-hour standoff with a homicide suspect ended without fatality or serious injury when police subdued the suspect with a stun gun. Hovering on a construction crane, the man reached for some water when police struck with a Taser (Nasdaq: TASR).

Taser may not immediately come to mind when you think of making the world a better place. The company has been attacked by the media, Amnesty International, and others who claim that stun guns can be unduly lethal. What these groups fail to recognize is that stunning an individual has a far less chance of ending fatally than shooting him with a bullet.

Data from police forces currently using Tasers confirms this fact. In 2003, The Arizona Republic reported that officer shootings in the Phoenix area dropped nearly 50% in the six months that Tasers were on the job. At the end of 2004, the Cape Coral, Fla., police department reported 83% fewer officer injuries and 40% fewer subject injuries following the widespread adoption of Tasers. Tasers also proved to be safer than batons, dogs, and pepper spray (based on Cape Coral's savings in injury-related costs).

I wrote the above headline to help us go beyond the headlines: "Another Taser-less Death." From now on, I want to see more articles about lives that could have been saved if every police officer in every city had a Taser on his or her belt.

Talk to police who use stun guns. Talk to the people in blue who resolve conflicts on a daily basis and sometimes put their own lives in jeopardy. An overwhelming number of them will tell you that this is the best development in the recent history of law enforcement. But in our litigious society, driven by lust for the lurid headline, Tasers have been given a bad name, while guns continue to take lives every day.

The market has punished Taser recently, but I think the company will be back. Its product is too good for society to ignore.
 
I'll admit that she was a stupid bitch but I honestly felt the officer used his weapon too quickly. I really did think it was an over reaction. I don't like the tasers simply because they give them to officers and tell them it's non lethal force. This gives the cops the idea that they can use them with absolutely no risk. However, I think there have been about 100 confirmed deaths from this device. It's really not good for someone with a bad heart. I don't think they teach the officers that these weapons are potentially deadly. This cop could have pulled her from that vehicle with his hands. Also, I didn't like the way he used it so quickly.

Does anyone else remember the girl that got killed by the "beanbag" gun in Boston after the World Series last year? That was another example of "non-lethal force" used by police.

Thank you, Mr. Armchair commando. Dude, you should really consider the SAS, Delta Force or some kind of badass elite group or maybe just work as a cop for a few weeks just to see how well you could use your great "skills" in the real world.
1) im too tough for that shit
2) i like the way you called me Mr. as befits a dog yapping at his betters
3) i use my skillz all the time, getting recalcitrant grannies to take their drugs properly, and bouncing druggies trying to buy pseudoephedrine, on top of my latenight adventures

I always tell you how it is, I never mince words. I just don't understand why you constanlty degrade the USA...instead of worrying so much about this nation I think you should be more conerned with your own nation's issues, which their are many.
im equally critical of australias shortcomings, believe me...i just dont really voice them here, since its never really relevant...and besides, australias shortcomings dont make americas shortcomings suddenly acceptable - theyre independent problems and should be viewed critically as such

well, i never said anything about loving the USA, not one time in this thread. And, frankly, Bush and his "moronic" policies are the USA, they represent the majorities choice of policies and represenatives. Please don't insult my intelligence "let my brain tick"...my brain has been ticking a few more years than yours.
its all about perspective. you have little concept of your own ignorance (as do we all). your view of this issue is an example of that. i would take any bet that you would feel differently about this issue were you to have been raised in another, less brutal society.

Gambino said:
well their bor, in the USA cops get dead when people don't cooperate. proly different than in aussie, but here the hoods' have guns and people aren't afraid to use them against law officers. You cannot take that chance cause you never know when someone is gonna start shooting. Cops in metro areas can't afford to take shit from some dumb cunt, if they do they could wind up dead as fuck...

A
fair enough, but i didnt see any threat in that video. i just saw a cop with little patience accellerating the level of violence for the sake of ease, rather than appropriate management. implying that tasering her was a safety issue is insulting

cheerios
