I have reached the opinion that tazers more and more are getting used preemptively and for disciplinary measures. Both is unacceptable. Tazers exclusively should be used in cases of police being attacked by suspects turning clearly violent against them. not following orders fast enough, or sanctionising unwanted behavior, are not sufficient reasons to tazer somebody. the police is not the judge. Doing so is not different to beating up a suspect because of his "suspicious dark skin colour". tazers are meant to be non-lethal weapons of self-defense - not more and not less. what we currently hear with regularity, is a clear abuse of the intention behind their introduction.
