Even if it doesn’t kill the officer, he/she could become incapacitated by being tased, then the criminal can take their weapon. So, the way I see it the officer can not afford to become tased.


TASERS are nonlethal force, but as pointed out, they make the person incapacitated and at the mercy of the bad guy in this case. That is the officer's defense. Of course, the other side will say that all the deceased wanted to do was run away. Unfortunately we don't have machines to read a dead man's mind so the officer will be offered up as a sacrificial lamb in this case.



Jawbone you seem like the man that will know the answer to this question, those tasers are basically a single shot right? Once he fired it and missed isn't it pretty much just a piece of plastic?

correct single shot until reloaded with another cartridge


Turkey’s tell you when they want to die not lawmakers.
