I have a great idea... I think those who are so "anti-taser" should strap on a Taser and spend a shift riding along with the police officers in the drug-infested, crime-ridden neighborhoods in this city. It would be interesting to see how fast these "Taser Activists" would pull their own tasers when confronted with some of the situations that police officers face everyday. I'm fairly certain that they would have no qualms about using the Taser when THEY are the ones confronting a 6'2" 240 Lb guy in a dark alley who would rather kill them than go back to jail. It would be especially amusing to see how one of these activists would respond to an irate motorist who refuses to get out of his car, despite giving him several commands to do so. Why won't he get out, you might ask? Did he just commit a crime? Does he have a gun? Is he a wanted person? Would it be better to go hands-on and risk injury or perhaps getting overpowered and having your gun taken away from you? Maybe these Monday morning quarterbacks should walk a mile in the shoes of those officers who hit the streets every night to protect them.
