"Police officers are paid to enforce the law, not to get hurt," says Taser spokespuppet Steve Tuttle. "Police need this. That's why we've survived the controversy around our products."
In other words, to reduce the possibility that a police officer may experience an injury, the citizenry must accept an increased risk of death. A fair trade-off? I guess so (for a police state).
How about the police revisit their Grade 6 'Civics' lessons and (re)learn about the legal application of lawful force? Is that too much to ask (for a free society)?
