yes they can. if they are ranting and raving and not obeying the cops directions then they are ill, in fact they are crazy. join the ACLU sam seems like it's right up your alley.
Some people act as if the police have really good judgement when it is more than obvious that they act with really bad judgement.
Hmm so according to you, anyone who is ranting and raving and not obeying cops directions is ill and should be cured with a couple of shots from a stun gun?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Are they anti-fascism?
Doesn't say anything about the number of lives stun guns save... or anything regarding their efficacy in difficult situations. Those people with weak constitutions who can't handle a little voltage are just collateral damage. It just happens to be that it's easy to count the number of people who have died and report it in the news. That's all. It's just an arbitrary fact.
yes, they are ill, stupid, nuts, you name it. couple shots from a stun gun? nah, a few slugs from a .45 is better. regardless of what you may think sam most americans want to live a peaceful tranquil life. and yes the cops in question had every reason to shoot the psyco with a stun gun. edit if i did my math right the figures you quoted indicates that 2 tenths of 1 percent were fatalities. a very small number. edit oh by the way a taser (stun gun) puts out a grand total of 26 watts.
But um..of course they should be allowedto have stun guns, everyone should. I can believe somebody actually died from one. That's such a ridiculously pussy way to die.
the air force did some tests on pigs using stun guns. the pigs were shot 18 times each. none died. a human will be shot, what, 3 times max? you people won't be satisfied until our police is totally unarmed. typical terrorist attitude.
Q:How many cops does it take to subdue one Bible thumping teenager? A: None, because they'd rather taze him.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://www.hrw.org/about/initiatives/police.htm http://www.hrw.org/reports98/police/ http://www.hrw.org/doc/?t=usa_police
I read somewhere that the new taser guns were going to be tested in India.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I agree. This is just one of many incidence where people seem to think that all cops have to do is fuck around with one crazy prick just to get him off of the streets. I can just see it now ....anytime a criminal wants to resist arrest, he just act crazy, and the cops step back and let him go ...for fear of raising the ire of mamby-pamby, doo-gooder citizens! Yeah, and that's exactly the tactics that terrorist supporters use to help the terrorists. Baron Max
Yeah, that's all cops have to do ...subdue crazy people! And while they're all gathered around subduing that one crazy person, crime continues all over the city ...without any cops in the area! Good tactics, huh? And if a person wants to resist arrest, the cops should just stand back and let the guy go?! Resisting arrest is also a crime, ladies and gentlemen. Sam, you'd make a really good, effective leader of police! ...LOL! Baron Max
It now makes perfect sense to me why so many Americans are against gun control. Not only can they not depend on the cops to protect them, but apparently they need protection from the cops!
SamCDKey: Mentally ill people cannot be handled without a degree of violence. Specifically as insanity often leads to a certain increase in strength and a resilience towards pain. Oniw17: FIghting with the cops is a sure fire way to land your ass in prison for virtually no benefit.
1. Do you know any mentally ill people? 2. In American hospitals, are mentally ill people tasered by doctors to keep them under control?
