The Guardian asked Steve Tuttle, Taser's vice-president for strategic communications, if he felt that staff should disclose their employment when reviewing reviews of the documentary. He told the newspaper, "Are you fucking joking? It's a free country and they can do what they want."
I can only imagine what the VP for impulsive communications might have said.
- mmastrac 11y agoPosted the exact same quote just a second after you... I'd expect to read that in The Onion rather than as a real response from a company executive. Wild.
- mh- 11y agoI re-read that paragraph a few times thinking it was surely some sort of paraphrase. I didn't have any interest in this documentary (I wasn't even aware it existed), but now I have to see what prompted such an emotional and poorly thought-out response from TASER.
- Splines 11y agoWell, something must be going down, seeing as at least one review was deleted and re-posted under a different name.
- nether 11y agoHe has people skills. What the hell is wrong with you?

- banku_brougham 11y agohaha. i had to reread his title "strategic communications". Sounds like a great corporate culture, anybody know if Taser is hiring.
- fredkbloggs 11y agoWhen your customers are all cops, there's no reason to care whether you, your company, or your culture are viewed favorably by the common proles. The guy knows who his customers are, I'll give him that. They probably love him for this, because their attitude is exactly the same: Are you fucking joking? I'm a cop, I can do whatever I want.
- girvo 11y agoThe general public are not Taser's customers, so I don't think they really care what we think about his response. I know some police that would love that response, actually...
