1. Stop and think
You have the ability to start smoking. You do it on your own, BUT, it does become addictive. Now being ta sered is not voluntary. You are ta sered usually by some form of law enforcement and in a heck of lot of cases, for some infraction, OR NOT, that was trivial. Some people might be allergic, some people might have a medical condition. How would the law enforcement know that.

I think, that law enforcement officers, should be told, and it should be enforced that if a person is ta sered, and there is injury they will be fired and they will be responsible for the ensuing law suit.

I know that there are exceptions. But there are so many other peaceful resolutions that ta sering is not usually necessary.

Esample, my son is 6'2" weights close to 200 and looks healthy as can be. But he is diabetic, has high blood pressure and a heart condition. How would you know that. By looking at him you wouldn't so tasering should be a very last resort and only if a person is violent.
