Oww. Rock salt. I bet that smarts.

I don't get it.
Why would you need to tazer someone at range? If they are at range they aren't a threat to you. If they have a firearm, you want to shoot them with lead anyway. If they are at range with a hostage you want to shoot them with lead anyway.
The potential for abuse of this weapons seems crazy.

"RCMP must curb Taser use, watchdog says

CBC News
The RCMP's watchdog is calling for the force to restrict its use of stun guns, saying the weapons are increasingly employed to subdue those who are resistant rather than those who pose a threat."

I was shot in the backside/upper back leg w/ rock salt once. (cut thru the yard of an elderly chap) I was prob. 12yrs old ish.
I ran home and jumped in the bath and let it all dissolve. (not fun)
That was absolutely horrible.
I strongly encourage you NOT to get shot by by rock salt.

Rock salt will seem like a holiday perk.

Like most things, Tasers can be put to good use, or bad use. What if people were rioting, and starting fires?? Smashing windows, or over-turning cars mabye?
Do you want to instead shoot and kill them?
I have owned my personal Taser for two full days now, and have yet to Taser anyone.
Tasers have reduced injuries to both officers and suspects in police departments that have adopted them.
Would you rather have someone tasered, or beaten senseless with batons? Which do you think has the greater risk to the suspect??

Thrawn,
Using a taser with some range on it, and no wires to boot means that a suspect armed with a club, sword, knife, or other weapon can be taken down with less than lethal force without having to enter the weapon range of the suspect. It also allows Police to approach and use it in an area that is unfriendly to wires.

Whew, way to go, Sig, such restraint is admirable. :)
Actually, tasers and rock salt are anything but a joke. Serious issue to unload any such device on anyone. Could elicit serious retribution.

Anyone stupid or crazy enough to try to come at someone holding a 12 guage with a club, sword, knife, or other weapon probably should be the recipient of lethal force. However, I suppose you could just aim low....

Non lethal force.
Don't wound them (because they WILL sue you.)
Don't Kill them, (Their family WILL sue you)
Just hit em with the taser shell at 30 yards, walk over and PUT THE CUFFS ON.
Now all it needs is guncam footage so you can SEE what he was doing.
Makes perfect sense to me.

Justice? You mean throwing a rapist in prison for two months and then letting him back out to see if he rapes another little girl? Or perhaps locking up for two years a pair of men who murdered a mother in front of her children?
Or, on the flip side, giving that same two-year sentence to a mother of three children who throws a plastic cup of ice water at someone? Yes, by all means, let justice be served.

The cop was out of line on that one. Judging from the video prefaced with the talk by his superior his career there is over and perhaps he should find another line of work.
