[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 1907324, member: 13337"] Where in that statement did I define when it's "okay" to tase someone? Perhaps I should have stated ~bring down people who are [U]violently[/U] resisting arrest~,,, Tasers were never meant to be used as cattle prods on American citizens. Look my friend, let's not let this degenerate into a nit-picking word dissection,,, I'm stating my disgust at law enforcement officers assuming the authority to tase anyone at will. The cop who tased my ex did it because he was scared,,, He was also too damned lazy (indifferent) to actually check her statement,,, He was an off-duty Riverside County Sheriff's Deputy called to act as extra security at her PD. Her Chief of Police fired him on the spot and wrote a strong letter to his sheriff's office,,, Not a dang thing happened to him as his justification was he thought she was going for a weapon in her purse. I strongly object to the recent attitude of ~when in doubt, tase it~,,, It's just too danged easy to abuse and when it is used, the standard alibi is officer safety. I work with cops and I hear them laughing about how "he flopped like a fish",,, I know just how difficult the job is and I respect each officer who does the job properly,,, But there is a significant percentage of cops who are simply bullies with a badge, gun, and a taser. I strongly object to their having a tool that is so easily abused,,, Especially when it's so danged easy to successfully justify their abusive behavior. That's all I have to say on this subject.
