Supreme Court considers legality of Tasers

First of all, Supreme Court considers legality of tasers because cops use tasers for bad reasons. I never forget the national news about cops tasering a tantruming little boy at school and even old people.

Second of all, tasers make cops lazier and gayer. In other words, cops become lazy faggots because they have taser guns. I saw "Cops" on TV and the cops tasered a guy who kept running away from them so they could stop chasing. WTF?

Last of all, taser guns are not 100% safe.

No wonder they call you crazy, Paul!

I see that you're not very willing to discuss about how can police officers improve themselves. you should know that law enforcement agencies are always seeking for better methods and non-lethal tools to subdue a non-compliant subject quickly and painless as possible (which airportcop acknowledged). that's why there has been a progressive transition from gun to baton to mace to taser.

instead... you want to point finger and make accusation.



you might want to ask rest of ADers about that :lol:

Yes. I do want to point fingers and make accustions but at both sides. And, as I have posted, the numbers are greatly in the favor of the officers.

Hell if I need anyone else nor an AD member to back me up, I have a mind of my own. I read your posts and all I read is negative, negative, negative about officers. Just saying that cops could use improvement(s) is a negative. IMO

And as for the person that got tased in the eye?...Was the Cop aiming for his head?....Surely, all Cops are trained to shoot a gun....and feel tasers should be used for the lower body, such as the legs or buttocks.

The officers are trained and required as per department policy to aim taser at center mass (chest area). The taser has laser dot and light so officer definitely knows where he's aiming at. If the dart hits his eye, it's probably because he was moving around. this kind of case is extraordinary rare for sure.

Aiming at legs is rather foolish because there's a very high chance that darts will miss the target. BB gun or even slingshot is much more accurate than taser because when shooting a taser, 2 darts will fly out of it with strings connected to taser so it's better to aim at either chest or back.

nothing wrong with it. just saying that he didn't need to use anything to subdue him.

mad skill, bro! :thumb:

jiro,

You are dead wrong in two areas. First when cops go hands on they or the offenders get injured very often and it is certainly more dangerous for both. We know when we can go hands on and it doesn't work for everyone or every time. Second but not least, bad doctors kill people, bad teachers & preachers injure people and it is in the news! Sexual abuse, malpractice! :wave:

first of all.... we're talking about legality. doctors, teachers, preachers, and lawyers.... in their professions - they do not hurt/kill people. cops do (yes I'm talking about justified use of force) because they are the one carrying gun, mace, baton, and taser.

sometimes it wasn't justified. sometimes it's very grey area. that's why we have to monitor police officers and update department policy/law if needed.

I do agree somewhat with you....Having to weed out the bad cops is necessary, time and time again. We have had and will always have some bad cops here in Duval County.

As for the training to aim the taser to the chest area...I don't feel comfortable with that. The back, that seems to be appropriate, if the culprit is running...And tasing a woman, who is "obviously" pregnant, a resounding No, unless she has a gun or another weapon and is hell-bent on injuring/killing the officer. Same as for a child....People can and will become beligerant when drunk or strung out on drugs, even threaten deadly harm to the officer. It's a split-second decision for the best way to subdue them.

And he just as easily could have seriously injured him! Hence the Taser!

This is also why we have to monitor doctors & teachers too!:hmm: How many doctors have killed or injured people in their line of work?! How many teachers and preachers have molested kids or others!?

he could have been seriously injured or killed by taser as well. point is - he didn't need any of it to subdue him and he did it as quick and painless as possible.

cuz he's got some mad skills!!!! :lol:

you're talking about criminals. any criminals kill/hurt people.

but I'm not talking about criminals. I'm talking about law-abiding professionals. these professions you speak of in previous post... they do not hurt or kill people. in police business, officers do kill or hurt people (justified use of force, of course).

So what you are saying is that a doctor that "kills" someone on the operating table because of malpractice should get the death penalty?

And are you also saying that a priest/preacher/teacher that rapes a child during the course of his/her professional duty should get the death penalty?

After all, cops are not the only that begin their day as a professional and end their day as a professional.

Also the "justified use of force" would mean the officer did NOT kill nor hurt another person. It would mean that the officer acted for society as a professional whom has a set obligation.

What are you think about tranquilizer guns? They can sedate the offenders down but not sure if they will get prescription side effects.

very dangerous, expensive, and complicated.
 
Doctors who kill or injure people are not usually criminals are they?! It's called malpractice for which we pay for dearly!

doctors do not kill or hurt people. doctors save them and despite of their best efforts, some patients die.

when a police officer points a gun at suspect, it's to kill him.
when a police officer raises a baton at suspect or aim mace/taser, it's to hurt him.

does doctor cut to kill? or to hurt?

we do not pay for their malpractice. doctor's insurance does. but we taxpayers do have to pay for wrongful deaths or injury caused by police officers.
