I told you that the taser training was bad...

Alaska state trooper Mike 'Troopergate' Wooten, 36, ex-brother-in-law to GOP VP candidate Sarah 'I'll have you fired' Palin, has admitted using a taser on his stepson. According to Mr Wooten, he had [just?] returned from a taser instruction class and the fascinated boy pleaded to be shot. So, of course, he shot him. He said his stepson flinched, but was unhurt.

So - he is fresh back from official Taser-approved taser training - and he decides it's a great idea to shoot his stepson with the taser 'just for fun'.

Does this sound like the sort of outcome you would expect from a good-by-any-standard weapon training course? Or does it sound like the results you'd expect if someone had just attended a Taser corporate propaganda brainwashing session?

Attention police regulators of the world - check the training. Stat!


Told ya so.
