Don't Tase Me, Bro; Part MDCCLXXIX

A woman who was upset, but was not committing any crime, yells at a cop and then back away. The cop tasers her anyway.

I've said this before and I'll say it again here: Tasers were first sold with the concept that they were an alternative to shooting people. We need to get away from the idea that Tasers are just a handy-dandy way for cops to torture people for fun. The use of aTaser by the police should be subjected to the same standards and the same level of review as using a firearm.

For only then are we going to stop this growing propensity for cops to use Tasers.
