Tasers are fine for most people. With my heart, I would very likely die if tasered.

Needless to say, I plan to say "yes sir" and "no sir" to cops at every opportunity. Heck, I might even call the station and say it for no reason whatsoever, just in case.

Things like taser usage play the odds. Odds are that more serious injuries and deaths are going to be prevented than caused nationwide, over time. I think it is a viable alternative to other, less subtle methods of intervention and restraint. That said, there *are* going to be abuses. There is another taser case which was just concluded in KC that cost two cops their jobs for tasering a guy *five times*. He was combative and could well have hurt both himself and the cops, but there was a dashboard video from the cops' car showing the whole incident, and the department determined that #5 was uncalled for and vindictive, and so the cops lost their jobs.
