- The CoMo PD have claimed that the Tasers would be used in place of lethal force - Critics have expressed worry that they would also be used as a substitute for negotiations or as a way to more quickly deal with "difficult" suspects. - In the video you can see that the man had just sat down when he was first tasered. Not a situation where lethal force would have been used in the first place. - The man fell nearly 15 feet. He currently has 2 broken arms, a broken eye socket and fractured jaw.
At most CoMO PD took extreme measures in a situation where it was not warranted. At the very least and amidst continuing criticism, CoMO PD are not being forthright with their defense of the circumstances under which the Taser guns would be used.

For those of you not framiliar with Columbia (I live here) It's also the town where a cop (Steven Rios) murdered his gay lover and tried to cover it up. The Columbia police dept. was "helpful" in my opinion.
Columbia PD abuse the shit out the taser guns. I dont think they are racist I just think their tired of dealing with niggers 80% and who cause more problems 80% then that of a white or other. I reckoned to believe that if Columbia didn't have so many black people, we would't have so many police with sticks up their ass tired of dealin with bullshit niggas
or CPD could have used something called a brain... they could have detoured the traffic and put something below to break his fall before doing something (like tazing) that would clearly make him fall.. seriously do you have to have an IQ or 80 or below to be on the CPD... little kids could do a better job than these fucking morons.
to quote you.. "What IS childish is people like you who blanket groups of people as "not your friends" & hate them. Normal people have no problem with cops, only criminals & anarchists." your an intelligent one huh.. i have a problem with cops in america... they have become more of a gang than "protectors".. seems like it has just become another american money making industry rather than an industry to serve the people as it should be.. get an education and encourage your friends to do the same
