Tasers and power in a corrupt small town

Since Tasers arrived on the law enforcement scene, there have been many problematic and troubling stories involving their use.

Myself, I’m of the opinion that the Taser is just like any other tool: dangerous in the wrong hands.

It’s bad enough when someone misuses power, but it’s downright appalling when a (now former) police officer could rampantly and repeatedly abuse it… and that the environment in which he lives and works allowed him to do so.

    I agree about the tool thing. This guy probably would have used a billy club back in the old days. In a weird way, this is almost less the lesser sin, since the club seems more brutal.
