Taser use is supposed to be for when lethal force is called for, but they don't want to use their gun to actually kill the suspect. That use I support 100%, when the case is genuine that the officer's life is in danger unless they use the Taser in place of their gun. Any other use is, plain and simple, just used for pain compliance and that is clearly torture. My own opinion is that Taser use of that kind should be unconstitutional, and that any officer using their Taser in that way really should be charged with attempted murder. I am also not sure sure the Taser is as safe as it is presented to be. First, they are still causing internal electrical burns on the person at the minimum, using a shock strong enough that it is intended to disrupt the muscles (likely including the heart). Second, all of the supposed safe demonstrations of the Taser are shown with the person standing, held by two people, with the Taser used in drive-stun (direct contact) mode in the lower back instead of the shot probes mode--compare that to the unrestrained people being shot in the upper back or chest, then shocked in shot probe mode, also taking hard falls form the initial shock and then thrashing about unrestrained for the duration of the shock (then repeat if the officer gives multiple shocks). Finally, there are way too many videos of the police officer yelling at the person who was just shocked to move *now*, totally ignorant of basic biology that requires at least a second or two for muscles to recover from such a shock--in those cases I think that those officers seriously need to be retrained to control their adrenaline and be fully aware of the effects of the shock, or else they should not even be able to allowed to carry a Taser on them at all.

It's just about torture. Keeping us serfs and slaves in line.
