Nick is shocked that cops use Tasers on unarmed subjects

In an interesting post about Tasers at The World According to Nick, viagra sales shop Nick writes:

“The truly frightening statistic is that the majority of times that tasers are used, cialis sale recipe they are used on unarmed individuals.”

Of course, the people who get tased are often unarmed.

Cops ALWAYS look to create a disparity of force.

They respond to unarmed suspects with tasers or pepper spray or batons.

They escalate to pistols when facing a suspect with a knife.

They grab shotguns and rifles when they know the bad guy has a gun.

Cops aren’t interested in a fair fight.

They are not interested in wrestling with someone who may or may not be armed – a situation that can lead to the cop being disarmed, shot with their own weapon, or even bit by someone with AIDS.

They’re interested in ending the confrontation and ending it fast.

Tasers may or may not be an appropriate tool for law enforcement. But the criticism that they are often used against unarmed individuals fails to recognize just how deadly an “unarmed” man can be.
