More or less.
Police Brutality
- Thread starter franklin
- Start date
The way I see it, it is to save the officer the trama of killing someone by using a method that only has a possibility of killing them as opposed to shooting them in the chest which will most likely kill them.
I posted that idea before.
For instance, a 350lb disorderly man is flailing around and not cooperating. The two police officers, 180lbs each, cannot safely tackle tha man but have been able to avoid his flailing around so far. He starts towards a neighbor kid and instead of shooting him they have the option to tase him. It will probably work and he will probably not die, but they have to protect the innocent person from an attack, so if they had no taser they would likely shoot him. This way they don't have to put themselves through that, don't have to get suspended while the shooting is investigated, don't have the lawsuit filed by the family, etc..
You're really trying to take this too far.
My point is that most government documents are not straightforward. There are often changes to the rules depending on some factor or other situations. There are never straightforward documents that state if a, then b. A general rule, but more specific changes to that rule given certain sets of circumstances.
Capiche?
What? My post was not understood in the way I intended it to be?
I think I'm going to die of not surprise.
Seriously though...
I can understand that my angle, and lame attempts at humor or jabs do not come through properly.
For that, I am truly sorry.
That's it. I knew you were going to push this over the edge. At least you didn't take those grandmothers in wheelchairs with you.

C'mon n00b everybody knows that if you taze an electric wheel chair it's like hitting the nitro in car. Why do you think old people carry tazers, it's so when they're done shoplifting or whatever crime old people do if they somehow get caught and need to make a quick getaway they just set their taze to nitro(full) and all you see is a blue (hair) streak flying by.

Just got on here and am replying as I go, so I may have a few more posts before this topic is done. It depends on the department, but at the one I am at (as well as most in the area) the PT test is once a year. As a side note, I am a big proponent in PT tests. If I'm in the middle of a scrum or in a foot chase I want to know that people coming to help me have the stamina to help me catch the suspect or win the fight.
