No matter how much you preface it, the LEO crowd here won't accept you criticizing one of their own. They will likely tell how much the tazer has helped them and made them safer. Remember, the LEO in a encounter is always right and the non-LEO in an encounter is guilty. If they were not guilty of something the LEO would not be there. Most of them are "hunters" looking for bad guys as that one poster said. They prevent crime.
