They really need to put quotes on "non-lethal." You give these guys a tazer and they think they can zap the hell out of anyone they want because it's "non-lethal." Next thing you know we got a bunch of dead kids and seniors. We should just give these trigger-happy tough guys nerf guns until they learn to use better judgment...

What I really don't understand is what kind of steroids were these ten year olds on that they couldn't overpower them without a weapon.

Cops-

A friend of mine is a cop in the Peel Police (Roger, you understand that I'm sure)... he was telling me a few weeks ago about having to taze an 80 year old man so he could handcuff him.  

I asked him why he felt it necessary to taze this old man, and his serious response was (I shit you not):  "I didn't want to hurt him."


I think that says it all.

My cousin was Peel police.  That wasn't jackboot enough for him, so he ran off to the OPP.

I think it's quite cute that you think a quotation mark is going to stop the police from zapping the fuck out of someone.

 :x My boy is ten. He's the size of Roger's arm. Why the hell would an adult taze a ten-year-old? That should be a criminal offense.

Apparently, these kids had the wrong values.  These sorts of things happen to people with the wrong values.

I don't know. They just really shouldn't call it non-lethal. It's giving these guys the wrong idea. As it is, a lot of them are just itching for an excuse, and this whole non-lethal thing provides them one...

Technically, Taser markets their product as "less-lethal"

I predict this will REALLY hit the fan when one kid develops arythmia and the lawsuits begin to fly.

Personally I call it the right time to give your kids tasers. If the only way a cop can overpower a 10 year old is with the aid of 50,000 volts then I reckon it's high time we level the playing field cos the copper deserves to get his ass handed to him on a plate by said minor and I'll do what it takes to make sure that happens. Lets face it, my taxes are paying for these useless fucks to make sure my property is safe and I don't get raped at night when I'm taking the dog for a walk. If they can't handle a small child then they deserve to be crippled or killed by said infant. I aint running a fucking charity here :argh!:
