Hello Family,
I watch COPS on television and i've seen more use of these tasers. It really bothers me. I understand that they are similar to stun guns and cattle prods. Again, it really bothers me that these things are being used on human beings.
I've read that they are safer than guns, and that police shootings have decreased, where these weapons are being used. Unfortunately, these weapons don't leave considerably noticeable marks on a victim, and can be easily abused as a result.
Of course i believe that it is going to be mostly us, that these weapons are used on. I don't like it.
I remember hearing recently about a young boy, maybe 12 or something, was the victim of some police officer's taser.
50,000 volts of electricity in a body seems quite extreme to me. No one knows the long term consequence of such. Yet we do know, that they can cause death in some instances, in the short term.
Did i already say i don't like this.
I wonder if the police keep a record of how often they use these tasers, who they use them on, the breakdown between Black folk and White folk, as well as other races ... lots of room for continued racial abuse, in a system rife with it.
I think they should have to give a full account and records maintained and made public, when these extreme measures are taken.
