18W - the toaster would give you over 133 times that. And there's a chance you could have the mains current pass through your heart and stop it cold.

hmmm.
I think all these hooty snooty people who decide on what should be used to try a "practice what ya preach" scenario.
Sure the police can be put in a situation where force is needed and an ulternative to lethal force would be the go. But in saying that they are going to be much more willing to wip out the tazor than a gun, so the situation it is needed in becomes a lot less "intense".
As for my practice what they preach. Get someone to tazor them see how they like it. imaging getting hit in the groin or worse the head... by "mistake".
It seems to be a screwed if ya do screwed if ya don't situation.
Lump lingered last in line for brains,
And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

Police recruits currently have the opportunity to experience pepper spray? so why not a Tazer?

Glocks & Bushmasters too? Why not just start smashing them with a batton as soon as they register an interest in joining?

Aff-man, as a potential "innocent bystander" I'd rather be accidentally clobbered by a Taser than by a Nine-mil projectile.
From a scientific perspective, I would voluntarily get zapped by a Taser to satisfy myself as to its efficacy and have an understanding of what it feels like. Likewise, I would voluntarily get pepper-sprayed - both experiments under controlled conditions to lessen the chances of secondary injures and with medical personnel on hand in case something about me proves to be unusually susceptible to pepper spray or 50KV.
You will not ever see me volunteering to be shot in my unprotected centre of mass with a nine millimetre projectile for a scientific bit of first-hand understanding.
I'd be extremely leary of getting shot in the chest whilst wearing appropriate armour.
The crims are armed. They have been for years and it's becoming more common-place.
Likewise the cops have had weapons for years to use to protect themselves and the rest of us. At Aramoana the retarded .38 Special revolver failed to be adequate to the occasion and a police officer lost his life - then so did a few more civilians before they could finally take out the gunman. In the wake of that, nine mil semiautos were introduced to replace the toys.
Until pepper spray, the only less-than-lethal option open to the police was the baton - effectively a bludgeon: damaging, potentially lethal, not particularly humane. The cops had them for years: the short billy-clubs and the longer Minto-Bars (which to a martial artist resemble half of a set of Tonfa).
Personally I'd rather be pepper sprayed than bashed over the head with a baton. Likewise, so far as a ranged weapon goes, a Taser is a safer alternative to a Glock under some conditions.
I watched the weapons training episode of the Police College series with great interest. I cannot agree with the assertion that they come out of college totally useless.

I may be a big wuss, but personally I subscribe to the, "You don't need to put your hand on a hot element to know it's hot!", theory... I definitely consider I'd be "unusually susceptible" to 50,000 volts...You a braver man than me, Wolf!

on a side note, it's not the voltage that will fuck you, it's the current.

Oh, okay! I guess I can inderstand it that way around too...!
