Kudos to the officers for handling that in a professional manner.
It just grinds me how cops are under the microscope every time they need to do their job.
If every time they need to subdue a person, or god forbid, use lethal force, and they have to go to court for it, what's going to happen?
We'll have officers who WON'T do their job, for fear of punishment, for essentially doing their job. How fucked up is that? Very.
I work with police everyday, and have counted on them numerous times when shit went bad. I like to think that they wouldn't hesitate to do what they have to do should the situation arise.
A Taser is an excellent non-lethal tool the police have that they can use in for their safety, and the safety of the victim involved. I just wish the freakin' public would shut their un-informed cakeholes and think that every situation can be "talked down".
