Remember awhile back we had a fairly lively discussion about the use / over use of tasers by police? Well, this month, Patrick Bedard discusses this issue in his Car and Driver editorial. He even discusses the Austin Texas video and the one (I believe in Colorado?) where the guy tries to get the cop to go back and show him the speed limit sign. Both of these IIRC were discussed here. The article is worth reading, this subject is coming to a head I think, I hope!
Personally I don't think that the tasers are the problem, as with most weapons, it's the operator who is deciding when to use the weapon who is the potential problem.
