In Oklahoma, a driver went into severe diabetic shock, but instead of getting help, he was tasered and handcuffed. ... [LINK]
If you're not extremely outraged by this incident, then you just don't get it.
Is it possible that the taser training is so incredibly bad that it actually makes police officers less capable of making reasonable decisions?
And this is just one perfectly clear-cut example of the all-too-common misuse, overuse and abuse of tasers. There are an endless series of examples that are similar in nature (tasering an elderly man in his hospital bed, tasering children, etc., etc., etc.).
Bad training. Really, really bad. And who is responsible for THAT?
And if the taser training is this bad, then perhaps a moratorium might be REQUIRED to clean up the mess before these potentially-dangerous devices, which shouldn't be combined with such horrible training, are allowed back on the street (if ever).
