In the past month there have been 3 instances caught on tape that has brought forth controversy over the use of tasers. I only saw a snippet of the guy they tased at the University, but he looked like he was asking for trouble. I didn't see the video of the 15yro autistic boy being tased, but read he was running in traffic??.

The drunk woman that got into some type of altercation stated that she shouldn't have been tased.

Here's two links. What are your thoughts upon seeing the videos?

The officer that tazed the woman should be punished. The college kid deserved it.

The Taser is a good tool for the police as a non lethal weapon, however, some of the police that use them are complete idiots as was the case of the Ohio officer as he Tasered a woman multple times while she crawled on the ground, he weighs what, about 225 lbs and there were at least two other police there also, a bit of over kill IMHO.

So, for firing a Taser, he is under fire......perhaps he should be fired. Or, held to the fire..........maybe he should build a fire under his department for better training in non-lethal force, which he obviously didn't take seriously.
