Comment on The 80,000-Volt Handcuffs That Let Cops Shock Prisonersparent

Comments

When tasers were introduced they were supposed to be used in situations where an officer would have instead used lethal force.

In the John Kerry "Don't tase me bro" incident. The officer thought he needed to use deadly force in that situation. He obviously didn't, but the point is that taser use in that situation would imply that he would have been okay using a firearm in that situation. Which is bs.
