A federal judge decided last week he wanted to hear more evidence about whether police rules for using Tasers are inadequate and unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Timothy Black said the evidence he's seen so far shows that police officers are "permitted" [by defective policy] to use Tasers against people who are not suspected of committing a serious crime and who do not pose a threat of harm to anyone else.

Ah, yeah, duh!
Grade 6 Civics class is all that's required to figure this out.
Tasers are torture. Tasers are potentially deadly. Tasers are almost always excessive force.
And anyone that denies these obvious facts is a threat to civil society.
