More stun guns are now being used by law enforcement authorities than ever, as the products also known as Tasers after the brand name, offer an alternative approach of downing a suspect that is better than shooting them. Though Tasers are allegedly non-lethal, an increasing number of fatalities have been associated with stun guns in spite of community outcry against their use. The proof is here: Public outrage has not stemmed Taser related deaths.
Interesting and informative. Not a taser lover myself.
Difficult to be objective and place this quasi-armed UK policing move (even at my tender age of 44) into the horrific and tragic reality it represents
