I love it. Everytime a topic like this presents itself you get people who have no concept of how hard the job is and refuse to follow their own logic to it's conclusion. If not a taser, then what? Brute force? Choke holds? Let everyone do whatever it is the Hell they feel like doing? No? You're going to handle it because you know better? Good to know.
Have you ever worked security? Ever taken down a 200lb. man that wants nothing more than to choke the life out of you? No? Then don't offer someone else's body up for brutal abuse if you aren't willing to do it yourself. This idea that tasers should only be used in the place of firearms is disingenuous. If someone is resisting then their should be a middle ground between a police officer opening up with a service revolver or getting their teeth kicked in by someone who isn't going to come quietly regardless of how much force is applied.
Hell, this discussion is moot anyway because no matter how much money municipalities spend implementation or R&D of "less than lethal" options the jackasses of the World will always try to find something wrong with them simply because they want to. Why? Because it's not about better ways to keep the peace. It's about turning yourself into a media whore and getting your 15-minutes of fame while screaming "Don't taze me bro!"
