They're being misused and abused. I mean, tazing a man multiple times, after he had a seizure and was involved in a car accident? The police might as well have shot him with a glock.

Rep Power: 28 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Not sure what to think on this one. He did have serious injuries, so he needed medical treatment. There is no logical reason to refuse, so maybe he just wasn't in the right frame of mind. If that's the case, then they acted correctly. It would have been negligent to do otherwise.

| I'd have to agree. Tazers are supposed to be less lethal alternatives to guns. Does that mean if the officer didn't have the tazer he would have shot the man? Some uses of them are justified but I get the sense that the vast majority of tazer use is just to make the officer's job a little bit easier. If you don't feel like dealing with rowdy people then you have no business being a police officer, IMO.

So you point on the Tazer, my point made elsewhere about the 42 days detention - they are not used in the way it was intended (or will not be in the case of the 42 days debacle) by the law makers, its only human nature really. |

| Seizure leading to an accident, then gets violent with rescue personnel: sounds like the opening to an episode of House. I wonder if there was a medical reason for his tantrum rather than just simple stupidity. In that case, they should've just sedated him, if they had the drugs on hand. | |

I'm sure that having just experienced a seizure, followed by a car accident the patient would have been in shock and confused. The officers could have helped restrain the patient while he was sedated or strapped by the medical staff but instead they chose to put large amounts of voltage through him.
