The company Taser International likes to promote their electric stun guns as a non-lethal alternative for police officers to take down suspects. Unfortunately, the statistics show that these stun guns are quickly becoming just as lethal firearms. To make matters worse, more and more reports are pouring in about police officers abusing the weapons and firing on children, pregnant women, and mentally handicapped people. Mike Papantonio talks with Aaron Watson, an attorney from Pensacola, Florida, who has some insight into the abuse of Tasers by police.
rofl ask you if u have heart problems before they tase u.
Children in Florida are dying from prescription drug overdoses. They’re dying from sniffing glue. They die from alcohol binges, but not one person has ever died from cannabis.
Google PUFMM Florida for more information.

You know, cops have a difficult job–no question. Most of the time they really struggle with decisions, and it cannot be an easy job. I know two Australians who were cops, and have some miserable stories to tell–really horrific. But there is no excuse for stuff like this. Police officers need to hold back a bit. They need to think about their actions. To serve and protect–that is the role they play, and, most cops do follow that. But this is crap. Sad.
Pap is spot on. When you have any dealing with a cop, you have to assume the cop wants to murder you. You(especially if you’re a poor colored person) are always guilty and deserving of a death sentence from a cop’s point of view. You have to treat cops the way you do some violent, mentally unstable patient: be very patient, indulge them, and talk to them in a level voice.
taser the greatest invention on earth…the taser saves the lives of police & bad guys every day…..If the bad guy idiot criminals dont want to get tasered then obey the law & do what the officer tells you to do…..Tasers are very safe, every police officer gets tasered before they are allowed to use one..If someone dies after being tasered they were going to die anyway because their heart was racing a thousand miles an hour due to the pcp, meth or whatever else they were on at the time…
The one people that have a problem with tasers are criminals. IF YOU FOLLOW THE LAW AND OBEY THE POLICE YOU WONT GET TASED. Tasers are used every day and cases of death are isolated. A taser did not kill Victor Steen. It was the squad car and the reckless actions by the police officer involved. Victor was also commiting a felony by runing from the police. There are some cops out there that abuse tasers but most officers dont abuse tasers.
@greatpatriot1 i am and officer and i got tased in the academy. it hurts but its better than getting shot
Why don’t they show the over FOUR HUNDRED people they killed with tasers in just the first year after they came out with them??? Let’s see that. What training does it take to taser a 10 year old kid? /watch?v=_aHgT3SsXf4 How about a 19 year old crippled boy? /watch?v=CYkTqAPl0gk
The only good cop is a dead cop! Evil criminal cops. They earn the name PIGS.
