Well said, I completely agree! I think it is wiser to look at the person behind the taser on a case by cases basis instead of trying to take them away from everyone. I used an electronic capture shield while working for TDCJ and had great results with it.....it saved many injuries before being stripped after a single death occured.KBCraig wrote:.
Tasers are supposed to be an alternative to "laying on of hands", with the hope that the end result is safer for both officers and subjects. That said, I do believe the "hands off" approach results in cases of police using Tasers when they wouldn't have otherwise used any force. We've all seen the videos: Tasers deployed to force compliance in an uncooperative, but otherwise unthreatening, subject. A lack of patience doesn't justify going up a step on the force continuum.
