Tased at the Baseball Game

[Hoser]

But with the deaths from tasers, would it be worth the risk of taseing a minor in front of all those witnesses? Could have ended pretty ugly.

Mess with the bull you get the horns.

I hope the little bastard got tossed in lock-up after.

Deaths are not caused by Taser Use. A supreme court decision made Taser International pay out in a lawsuit because the court said that Taser was PARTLY due to the death and Taser has taken that decision to the next highest court because they disagree

Taser is extremely safe and CAN be used on the elderly (Not that anyone would, hopefully).

Death usually occurs because of the amount of drugs someone has in their system or another issue that law enforcement is unaware of or can not control or both

I've only heard of death from heart attacks, and the guy who fell like 12 feet directly onto his head.

[Ah Pook]

Hmmm. If I had a Taser, I'm afraid I'd use it every day.

Some days I'd need the extra heavy duty battery pack to go with it.

lithium, definitely go with lithium

No, no, no.

I'm not trying to get all soft on you guys, but a kid being stupid and running out on a field is NOT, in my opinion, justification for a taser unless he got violent.

Just grab the kid and drag him off.

Tasers kill people often enough. they shouldn't be used unless the offender is a danger to himself or others.

Take my little brother for example.

he has a heart condition, mitral valve prolapse.

A taser could EASILY send him into cardiac arrest.

And before someone says "Well then he should know better blah blah blah"

He wasn't diagnosed until he was near 19 years old, and had done more than his fair share of stupid things.

Luckily no cop ever tased him.

Why?

He was never dangerous, he was just being an idiot kid.

Tasers are a LESS-LETHAL weapon, not a NON-LETHAL.

[Mtn.man]

set your phasers on Stun...

[shane]

I have to think that was a pretty good shot for a Thug Zapper. He was what, 20-25 feet away and on the run. Not really a distance weapon.

+1

So most of our elected officials can be safely tased?

A baseball feild is a large area for 4 or 5 security guards (who are often out of shape, etc) to patrol and keep people from running around. People know the rules. I say fair game. By the age of 12, concrete reasoning skills are instilled in adolescents. Unless they are retarded, they are fair game. They know the rules. As someone said, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes." That's rough about your brother, good thing he was never tazed. Cops are not held responsible for an individuals personal health however. They do not have the advantage of knowing whether someone has a heart condition of not... Once again, the audience should know not to jump on the field.

Tasers are a LESS-LETHAL weapon, not a NON-LETHAL.

Here I agree. I would rather see patrols armed with AA-12's with those bean bag slugs.... I think that would be a lot more fun to watch.
