Keep Tasers from Taking Another Life!
Tasers need to be banned from being used in law enforcement. It is not the safer choice for anyone. Too many people have senselessly died from these weapons of choice.
Why is this important?
Tasers/Stun Guns have been in law enforcement to use instead of a weapon. Well, both are actually weapons. The average taser gun can produce anywhere 80,000 to 300,000 volts of electricity. Hundreds have been killed by Tasers!
It is dangerous for law enforcement to throw around a taser on someone that is not healthy. Law enforcement do not know the medical history and just assume anyone can be tased (or many share this belief). There has been too many fatalities as a result of using a taser, which is not much better than the other option they have, a firearm. Depending upon medical history, a taser can be more deadly than a firearm.
Keep Tasers from being used on innocent people, those who are not being a threat, those who are not causing harm. I was threatened a few months ago, and I was simply sitting on my sofa when I was threatened with a taser! Keep Tasers from law enforcement who are not responsible.
