Lethal weapons are a good thing

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Police around the world are careless with their use of non-lethal weapons. It seems that rather then attempting to subdue a suspect they seem to simply taser them and then have to subdue a thrashing panicking person instead.Is it laziness or cruelty?

In this clip you can clearly see that the dude was not threatening the police in any way, aside from throwing furniture. I guess that an old chair and crappy dell is worth more then a dude’s life these days. In this article, the man in question was in a diabetic coma. That’s even more wrong on so many levels.

Some might say that in this day and age, being able to restrain potential suicide bombers quickly is a good thing. However, if you taser someone with their finger on a big red detonator button, you can be damn sure that the button is going to be pushed.

Perhaps the police should ease up on the doughnuts and go back to the gym and dojo.
