Study Suggests Taser Use By US Police Is Safe

Or what if it was just a protestor giving passive resistance? That's actually the toughest type of resistance!
If the police can restrain somebody physically, especially somebody physically weaker than them, they should put in a solid effort first. All I'm saying is that if they tazered someone like me, they would cause permanent damage and excrutiating pain. The key to my point isn't banning tazers, it's learning to suppress that trigger-finger itch.
