Love this site.
In full disclosure, I am an officer. Having said that most of these videos are staged or provocted encounters or spin offs of something that may have happened prior to the recording. I have noticed that these videos being used to further agenda's that are always working against the use of established police tactics. For instance the libeal left is nuts over the use of the Taser device. This tool is simply the best tool, next to a handgun, the police have. The media would lead us to belive otherwise. In the EXTREMELY rare instance where a person dies after being tased, the media instantly points to the taser as the cause. 99% of police carrying tasers have been tased themselves as part of certification on the device. There have been no documented deaths DIRECTLY related to taser use. The latest study can be found at:
Nationwide Independent Taser® Study Results Suggest Devices are Safe :: Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center
Suspects have fallen to the ground hitting their head and dying as a result, so the taser does in affect contribute to the death but not like the media would lead you to believe. This tools subdues people that might take 2 , 3 or maybe 4 officers to subdue. Pepper spray contaminates everyone. When police have to go hands on with people there is almost always a reason. People get hurt, officers get hurt. You may not like to believe this, but not everyone is nice, most folks are but the percentage that would hurt you and not even think twice about it is growing. Are there bad officers? Sure. The ones that want to use their authority to browbeat the public need may need to find another profession. But let me tell you when I walk in to some drunken domestic disturbance you better bet that I am now in charge. You always want to de-escalate these scenes or any call for that matter but this does not always happen. People are under the influence of drugs and alcohol and dont think rationally or they do and hate the police anyway because they have been locked up before. I suggest you ride along with your local police dept. Dont go once go a few times and see what goes on day to day.
Agreed that the taser is a great tool, when properly applied.
Love this site.
Thanks. Which police department are you having issues with their deployment and what are the problems?
Which department to you work for? St. Mary's Sheriff's or Md. State Police?
Two jobs in this world I could never do, nor do they pay enough $$$ - School Teachers or Police Officers...

Yes! The libs are the reason that tasers are being used, FOR NOW. The libs cried how so many people were being killed for their crimes and the spineless government bought it. Then came the rubber bullets and the bean bags. This is causing crime to escalate because the criminal has no fear of being killed any more thanks, AGAIN, to the bleeding heart liberals! They eventually want the Police & us disarmed. God help us when/if the Dems get in next year. We're ALL going to be disarmed! We can only stop them at the polls. By the way, the Democratic voting date next year is November 31st.Tasers - they are a good thing, if the police where using their guns to stop criminals from running, bleeding heart liberals would be whining like a 3 y/o with a stubbed toe.
If you break the law and run, you should get whats coming to 'ya.
Love this site.

Yes, it is amazing what, in our society, we pay front line teachers and police officers. Yet we'll pay folks millions to hit a ball with a bat or put it through a net.Two jobs in this world I could never do, nor do they pay enough $$$ - School Teachers or Police Officers...
Yeah, but teachers can't use tasers!!! So maybe police officer is the better choice!
You'd be surprised how many wish they could! A "kiddie taser", yeah that's the ticket. On second thought bring back the paddle
