Let's taser our kids

[phylodog]

I've been hit with a Tazer around a dozen times and I'd take it over 120v any day.

 

[ModernGunner]

Agreed. Been through Taser training multiple times with others doing the same. The effects stop when the energizing ceases, and it doesn't 'pick ya up and throw ya against a wall', regardless of size.

Age has nothing to do with it. The Taser doesn't know how old the person is. It's not 'good' or 'evil', any more than a television. It's an electronic device, period.

It appears 'Mommy' wants that

After reading multiple 'reports' (and that's using the term generously with PSUSA!) from Police State USA and fact-checking those 'reports', one is forced to the conclusion that PSUSA is little more than conspiracy theory garbage.

I'll just leave this here for those interested.

I've been shocked more times than I can remember over my career (maybe that explains a lot). I'd gladly take a 120 volt hit from a wall receptacle over a tazer shot.

What is the amperage of a taser compared to 110v household? What I can find is that a Tazer x26 has as average amperage of 1.9-2.1 ma.

I can't say I think it was an appropriate response. Four grown adult men and a taser is the best solution? I don't think so.

You can get about 15A at a standard lighting outlet and 20A through an appliance outlet....but you would never get that flow through the human body. It's a lousy conductor.

You'd rather have 4 grown men dog pile on her while she has a knife in her hand?

I'd love to see someone thrown against a wall with a taser all i do is drop like a sack of taters. Now pepper spray makes you voluntarily throw yourself against a wall in an attempt to knock yourself unconscious.

"How much harm could she have done?” Ms. Stenstrom asked, according to CNN.

I've not seen anything written there that wasn't factual.

Care to give an example?

False dilemma. Are you telling me that's the only other option?

 

[rambone]

Its really really hard to kill yourself with a knife, especially when there are emergency personnel a few feet away.

Contain her, continue talking to her.

Bribe her with ice cream.

What options do you think were available? Not arguing, just would like your thoughts.

Do you really need someone to tell you what all the options are for dealing with an 8-year-old girl?

Are you a parent?

Presentation my friend Presentation.

Are you sure you are not rambone himself? Maybe his best friend?

 

[HoughMade]

Really easy to find better solutions when you weren't there.

I dont need someone else to tell me how to deal with an 8 year old girl, however I would like to hear what options you think the officers had available to them.

I am a parent, but shes only 4 weeks old. Not 8 years.

Presentation my friend Presentation.

He said he fact-checked and reached his conclusion. I'm curious to hear which facts were incorrect.

A report of someone's statement can be factual, even if the statement itself isn't. Readers can draw their own conclusions about the accuracy of said statements, as with any form of journalism.

I wouldn't care if the tasing were a last resort option. Pretty sure it wasn't.

Anything but the taser and the firearm, for starters.

I can handle my 8 year old son and there's far less disparity of size and force between us than there was between this girl and the FOUR grown men who responded.

Here's a question: would the officers have tased their own children for the same behavior?

Oh, snap.
