Somehow, I don't think 'tort reform' is a reason to taser someone. Cops have every right to defend themselves and protect the public. Choosing zapping someone with 50,000 volts over the destruction of some furniture is a bad choice.

Tasering someone for talking about hurting someone seems counterproductive. It won't make them change their minds.
