Taser International chief Tom Smith-4-brains almost admits the obvious

Overuse, misuse and abuse of tasers are major problems. Taser International has not exactly been forthcoming with any public criticism of theses.

In respect of the 'new' and embarrassingly so-last-week National Taser Use guidelines...

"...while also minimizing the potential for inappropriate use," said Smith.

That's such a baby step, but it is a baby step. I mean his even mentioning the concept of "inappropriate use". First time ever?

But I don't agree that the ministers actually managed to "minimize" the misuse. Not even close.
