It's time to take these torture devices out of the hands of police officers. They can't be trusted to use them correctly.
I was in a life threatening situation at work and a cop with a Tazer saved my life. You need to realize without Tazers cops with have to use lethal force more and more.
I don't agree. Think why they're using the taser in the first place, because the situation doesn't call for lethal force. Take away their personal torture toy and cops would likely find a different way to diffuse a situation that doesn't require lethal force, or they'd realize that no force is required at all to control the situation.
When they use a Tazer it IS in a situation where they can apply lethal force. You don't realize that when a cop uses a Tazer they investigate the situation just like they would if the Officer Discharged his sidearm.
Personally I prefer them carrying Tazers because it reduces the Lethal force deaths in the country. I personally Carry a Taser outside work for self defense over a gun. I also teach women's self defense classes and the first thing I reccommend to EVERY participant in my classes are them going out and getting a C2 Laser Sighter Taser made by Taser International. Since you can find them for as low as $200.00 at places like Botachtactical.com. I strongly reccommend against the use of Pepper Spray or a Cap Stun device since those aggrivate an attacker more then anything.
There is one Pepper Device that I reccommend though, it is made by Life Act and it is called a Guardian Angel. It is only about $20.00 thoguh the Botach website and it shoots a bullet of Pepper Spray at close to 70mph and has two shots in every device. They are very effective because they hurt like a bitch and will stop an attacker.
They make a device simular but looks like a gun and shoots at over 100 MPH but it's like $200.00.
Also the way I teach is defend and run and hand to hand combat as a last resort and strike to cause serious harm and flee.
