I think tasers are pretty amazing tools and I think cops should have both lethal and non-lethal options at their disposal AND have the training and judgement to know when to use one and not the other.

I have two problems with tasers though. The first is that it is pretty clear that the known dangers of them have been hidden and/or downplayed by the Taser International (the corporation) for financial reasons. The second, is that their use has become completely commonplace for passive, non-violent offenders.
