The picture that appeared in the paper (which, unfortunately, is not in the online version of the story) is enough to make any man wince. They are supposed to aim LOWER if you know what I mean. Getting tased in the family jewels almost makes me think risking a little death is not such a disaster.

I realize tasing someone is better than shooting to kill, but its use might be too quick a choice, knowing the repercussions are less.
Messing with someones electrical system can be deadly if that person already has medical issues.
I always worry about the G.I.Joe cop out there who misunderstands someones intent. Remember that video of the cop who recently tased the grandma? She was wrong, but the response was way over the top.
When I see innocent victims of police actions, I get ticked off. When I see innocent victims of criminal actions, I get ticked off. When I see criminal victims of police actions, I smile.
