You know how I hate tasers

Saw this on the front page of Google today and it's another incident of abuse of tasing.
I hate tasers. I think it's the stupidest weapon the police have ever been given, because since it doesn't have the stigma of a gun, cops feel it's ok to abuse the shit out of it.

Here's the whole article

Tasing

The most fucked up quote is this:

"The only thing he could have done other than to say, 'OK, we're going to let you go' is to beat him or Tase him. He did the right thing," Terrell said.

WTF? Is a petty drug dealer really worth killing?

The police officer has only now been fired because out of the 14 incidents of tasing from this particular station in Louisiana 10, yes 10! Have been by this one officer.

fuck this.
