God, some of you people are so moronic. You act as if having electricity going threw your entire body is harmless, yet there has been several taser related deaths.

[sociopathicregret]

Often, people who are excessively power hungry tend to confuse violation of absolute authority and true danger, or just use it an excuse. They probably DO feel its justified because of their huge egos.

[awarenessis]

Wow! Thanks for speaking out!

[bipolarscott]

if travel expenses,being paid being paid makes you an unreliable witness than there are no reliable defense witnesses in trials. also taser does not say the taser cause seizures...tell the truth....ps you are a great public speaker. also AMPS are the current in electricity taser uses volts...volts dont harm AMPS do.. so check your facts

[zekster76]
