Taser Quote of the Week: "Some cops..."

Tony Hicks: Don't tase me bro, but let me watch...

... Some cops in these [video] clips seem to have their taser out somewhere between "Can I see your..." and "...driver's license please?"   Nobody said being a cop was easy. But with great taser power comes great taser responsibility. And, sometimes, great taser comedy, and this will continue until someone's head explodes on YouTube [*]. And even that might not end the fun. Although useful in circumstances when an officer needs to establish control (which doesn't mean when I won't answer, for the 47th time, why I think I was pulled over), it's fairly obvious that for a few cops, getting a taser is the equivalent of a 9-year-old Star Trek fan getting his hands on a real-life phaser.

I believe it's well documented that the Smith-4-brains children-of-the-corn were inspired, in part, by the science fiction TV show Star Trek. I'm sure I've read about that, and more than once if I recall correctly.

Too bad the switch on their little phaser keeps randomly wobbling between being 'set on stun' and being 'set to kill'.

...not to mention being sometimes 'set to ineffective'...
