Should tasers be used?
Tasers were invented as a non-lethal alternative to fire arms. there are times when they should be used and times when they should not be used. This topic is controversial. Police use tasers to stun and arrest people. Tasers can kill people. Police recently killed a young male with a taser after chasing a suspect. Other people have been stunned by Tasers and survived. It is a very nasty electric shock. Police use force to arrest people. Some say a taser is an improvement on a gun. Others say its police brutality.
