Police should either use a tazer or a pie in the face. The tazer will knock you on your a*s (but you are still alive) and the pie would be just to let everyone know you were an as*hole.

I have learned that it is easy to not get tazed; behave yourself and if you need to be disruptive because of some legitimate cause, be cordial about it.

how can you tell the difference in when they should or shouldn't have used the tazers from looking at videos?

and you think the police just use them 'whenever they feel like it'? there is usually a reason.
what is your alternative to subdoing someone?

I was tazed and I ripped the barbs out. Why I was being tazed was questionable, as I was following all the orders given by the officers confronting the crowd. I don't trust Police, but I don't think they are all bad. Plus a tazer is somewhat better than hand to hand/ getting tackled..because that usually leads to battery and or rape depending on what city you live in.

Well, Police Officers don't use a method of force "whenever they feel like." As a criminal justice major and a future law enforcement official, I will say that they are one of the best deterrents out there. There is a system to the use of force and goes as follows: 1. verbal commands (get down on the ground!) 2. soft hands 3. hard hands 4. less than lethal, 5. lethal. Tazers fall in to the less than lethal category. They're are countless examples of tazers saving their lives, but it also stops the other party.

All police officers must be tazed in order to carry a tazer so they know the limits of the voltage and plus the gun are regulated to where they only shock every 30 seconds for 4 seconds at a time. The only evidence supporting the "unwarranted" deaths by tazing have been people on drugs or who have a heart condition. Police officers can't just stop and ask the perp, "Are you on any drugs or are you aware of a heart condition that can be potentially fatal if you get tazed?" NO. You are required to make life and death decisions in a split second. You can't afford ask questions if someone is potentially harming someone or themselves.
Plus would you rather be tazered for a few seconds then get up or be beaten with a club or an asp? I'll take the tazer.

This is a classical example of the phrase "one bad apple spoils the whole damn bunch". I would wager that for every 1 tazer "incident" you see on the news there are probably 50 more where it not only saved the cops life but the person they were arresting as well. A cop who would abuse a tazer would more than likely abuse the use of a gun as well. I guarantee that if we took away guns and tazers and armed police with pepper spray there would be someone who would complain about it and probably some cop who would probably find a way to abuse it.
