It's amazing how the slow passage of time eventually reveals the truth. More and more editorials and op-ed pieces are asking insightful questions about tasers and their so-called benefits to society.
Lorne Gunter, found on Calgary Herald - "... Perhaps the taser creates a similar facilitative effect: The alleged perpetrator is less likely to co-operate with taser-wielding police, just as officers, assured in their minds that tasers are less lethal, are more willing to fire them. ... Perhaps it's time to consider whether their use is sometimes more dangerous than officers' use of guns." [LINK] (see page 2)
Mr. Gunter is onto something here as evidenced by the roughly 100-to-1 ratio of taser usage to police gun usage.
