Fuck tazers and their brutal outcomes. Fuck Taser Corporation's [now "Axon"] coverup of all the lethal dosages of electricity from their devices.

  Right. Let's just shoot everyone with real bullets! Much, much better.

    false dichotomy

    Perhaps not shooting people at all would be a better start. Can't find the link but I've seen some videos applauding police doing de-escalation work that worked well, think it was in Europe.
    • Fins 9y ago
      That would be a better approach, for sure, but it works much better in Europe, or Japan -- places where the general population is very unlikely to have guns. Europe also has better mental health support systems, so they have fewer crazy people on the streets, too. Until those are fixed, Tazer seems to be a "good enough" option.

        More than half of the people who get the police called on them in the United States need mental and psyche help, not traumatization and incarceration
        • Fins 9y ago
          Yes, and you really need to do it well before the police gets involved.
          • sova 9y ago
            How?
            • Fins 9y ago
              That's a million dollar social policy question. Being to commit people against their will (and having money for it) would be a start.

                I'm here to brainstorm solutions! :D
