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.

Couldnt agree more!

I don't understand how much of a threat one man can pose on a 2nd floor ledge for him to be tazered.

On the face of it this strikes me as just plain crazy.

Yeah, some cops seem to think that since it's a (supposedly) non-lethal weapon, then they can use it at will. Morons
