    Gotta make sure all those nice, polite criminals stay healthy and live long lives so all the do-gooders created by liberal governments feel validated and useful for the rest of their existence.

    Mehhh, more of the stupid criminal twats need to be shot dead - then they would be begging for the Tazers to be introduced.

    Those alleged overseas deaths from Tazers would have been just as dead if the had been shot - at least the Tazer gave them a chance - more than I guess some gave their victims at the incident requiring the deployment of the tazers.

    I guess I've already said that in this thread somewhere most likely.

    As a potential innocent bystander, I'd still rather be on the receiving end of a taser than a 9mm.

    At least the taser projectiles won't go 500m up the street and through the window of the cafe where I'm having lunch with my family...

    Guess what District Law Society Ms DHYRBERG belongs to??? Of course she supports it... she probably wrote it.

    What a load of shit. All those laser targeted were doing nothing wrong and innocently going about their lawful business? All those zapped were doing nothing wrong and going about thier lawful business? TUI... TUI... TUI....

    Police not following policy and reporting correctly on use etc etc? She obviously doesn't like what they are seeing because it doesn't fit into their views of banning the devices.

    It has been said before (some time ago in this thread now...) that those being Tazered are being fried only because fists, baton or the cheap and usually useless pepper spray is ineffective or will not work on many... the next option, depending on seriousness of course, is to shoot.

    Death is probable when you are shot by a rifle or pistol. It is most unlikely and very rare with a Tazer.

    Did she mention this in her report?

    If I read that blurb about the district law society report right, they are complaining that the plod have threatened to use the Taser 56 times, but only actually fired 8 times?

    So, 85% of the time crims have thought better of it and given up...isn't that a good thing?

    The thought of it makes ME happy.

    And wouldn't all you riders who have paid good money for their tickets rather see said money being spent on hospitals/schools etc instead of supporting some slack-jawed, mouth-breathing lack-witted improvident oxygen robbing recidivist?? (and I include most politicians in this catagory, unfortunately most will never have to worry about facing a Tazer let alone a gun).

    Agreed... but fortunately I have never had a ticket.

    You read it right... they are only interested in saving the dumb arsed minoroty 8 who have been fried, not the majority.... again....

    My mistake...(adjusts tin-foil headgear)...so if the lawyers think we're warning too many crims compared to how many we're actually frying, it's an easy fix right? Just pull the fuckin' trigger pig!

    Tasers are awesome. Everybody should have one. Including coppers.

    And, for those naysayers who doubt the wisdom and mercy of our esteemed thin blue line, I'm sure that the po-po would never, ever, ever zap, oh, say, I dunno... a handcuffed woman?

    ROFL.

    I want one.

    TASER TASER TASER DEPLOY!

    Yeah baby. Feel the burn.
