[QUOTE="HiAmplidude, post: 1313729, member: 561470"] Yes, but I'm not a cop, and there are a lot of things I don't like about my job, that violent tools could improve for me. But, I can't go off using them just because it would make my job easier, or shut some whacko up because he's annoying me or freaking me out. That lady was actually THERE to be arrested. Doesn't seem like resisting arrest to me. And even if she was, don't you think the cop could have easily gotten her hands behind her back to cuff her without using weapons on her first? I believe strongly that the use of non-lethal weapons is to replace lethal weapons as a means to immobilize a violent suspect who is showing a clear danger to himself, the officer, or another citizen. What does the cop rule-book say?-- that they can use non-lethal weapons any time it makes their job easier? If that's the case, it may be time to send off a little note to a Senator. [/QUOTE]
