Unfortunately, these electro-shock weapons are open to abuse and often used against individuals who pose no serious danger to themselves, the officers or others. In this week's vodcast, John W. Whitehead examines the threat tasers pose to our human and constitutional rights.

@WIGTRON5000 Though they only tase them once, for short duration. I wonder why?

[redsmanager57]

@pombiki Great idea. I think the problem is that at a scene, there are multiple cops with multiple tasers.

@MrBradyhimself you have a baised opinion, now i support law enforcements, but! tasers are being much to easily used, and safety is a very important subject, or do you not pay attention to the billions of things that have been induced for your safety?
