Tazers really do nothing but cause pain. Recovery is very rapid, and when using on most healthy people no side affects either. Sounds pretty humane to me (the whole entire only causing pain and nothing else part) from my perspective even the fact that it keeps the officer safer as well as the suspect. This is where kara will come in with the "people have died from tazers". That's why tazer technology gets refined and the handling, rules, manual, and training for it changes as this happens. When cops get a tazer, they do get rigorous training for how to use it and when (except for that one video where the trainee didn't know that the tazer shoots at a slightly downward angle and nailed their trainer in the nuts while he slowly melted to the floor).

Even if a suspect is pinned down and can't go anywhere, and their still resisting, it's also the cops who want everything to go easier for the suspect and them. Even if the suspect can't get away and is still struggling while pinned and the suspect gets warned he'll be tazered if he doesn't relax (don't-tazer-me-bro got warned first if he didn't calm down that he'd be tazered). But, of course after the suspect gets tazered **** does go easier for everyone. Slap the cuffs on, he's a the station.

Now one thing is apparent. Pain is all that criminals will respond to if their trying to get away when everything that you told them is as if they didn't hear you because they're not listening. Pain is what will make them listen, not to mention pain with fast recovery and no lasting affects...it's as humane as ****ing pain gets i mean geez, how much more gentle could receiving pain be. The normal way to get pain is to get injured or close to it.

Now i know for a fact this will be dissected and taken apart for what will be thought as my only claims on how a tazer (despite my past posts) should be used as well as what has happened to my past posts Who really the **** cares if i'm right, this thread is so repetitive now. All i know is that i'm trying to pay attention to what happened in the video because that is what happened, and it is not hear-say. Nor is it people who don't really pay attention to the video and are like, that's excessive force and tazers are bad. The short fact is that tazers aren't bad, there's more good that comes from them than bad otherwise there'd be a recall. the other short fact is that dont-tazer-me-bro guy got warned a couple of times that he'd be tazered if he didn't stop struggling, so then he struggled more(proof that dont-tazer-me-bro guy is a retard journalism student) and he got tazed.

Here are my other claims:
I endorse tazering your cats and dogs. It's insanely fun, you really should try it sometime because shock collars don't teach your pets like a tazer for a human will. Hell i even go tazer hunting here in alaska, man that black bear didn't know what hit it, and then i pulled out my gun.

And while I agree with your previous statements, for this last bit I'd taser you. In the nads. Again and again and again and again....and again. Till I ran out of juice. Then I would get another battery...or I'd just hook it up to the city power grid.

It would be insanely fun to watch someone suffer for nothing but your own amusement, right?....yeah...

I'll bet he just forgot a rolleyes. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to agree with you.

Yes i was making a joke with the last bit

EDIT:I may have spoken too soon on other peoples part since i don't endorse tazering people's dog or go tazer hunting. Least to say tazering this dog was better than shooting it. And i can see cattle ranchers picking up this product to help escape charging bulls. That's right, someone did make a tazer specifically for animals...it says not for human use...(idk if it'd replace the cattle prod).

So basically, why is this thing news? With the first clip you'll get a totally different idea of the events than with the second clip. When looking through the second clip, the only comment I can give is that compared to police here, these guys have a really low level of tasering people and that here we don't even have police in the universities, hence the comment of the responsibility of the panel chair. Or someone from the audience could have said to him to beat it. This was not even a police issue in my opinion.

The whole incident is blown out of proportions, but this I should have suspected before, since it is coming from US. From time to time I get the same impression of the news coming from there, (ahem, I get the same feeling from US companies quotations) huge headlines and everything and only later you'll get to hear that the things didn't go exactly that way while the press hopes that they will get away with small "details" and "inaccuracies". More accurate reporting is needed. By the way, the same stuff applies to United Kingdom also, but in lesser amount. So why is this even news?

I have no more to say about this stuff.

I realize that most of that is probably intended to be rhetorical, and this is straying far off topic, but you're completely correct.

Every single story must be an absolute sensation to gain attention and cause discussion, especially heated, in order to get more people watching the news and thereby their commercials and ads.  Otherwise, it's just the same old boring news.  Similarly, "activists" of any kind will twist truth to the point of breaking in order to get attention, and more importantly, support by leaving out information and focusing any and all discussion on how bad something is rather than WHAT it is or by giving an entire picture, much like the editing of the videos.

The most amusing demonstration of this that I can think of is when Pen & Teller had a girl going around at a 'save the earth' rally of some sort, getting tons of people to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.  All these people were  caught up in the idea of 'yeah, lets ban that horrible substance' because in humans it causes sweating, constant urination, prolonged exposure can cause skin to rot away and it can cause respiratory failure!  OMGWTFLMAONAISE! BAN BAN BAN!

I just found this great site about it, so just in case someone doesn't know what dihydrogen monoxide is, go here: http://www.dhmo.org/
