I find that madness. Just because a taser can potentially be lethal, does not mean that it is equivalent to something that is intended to be lethal. What is the point of having a taser at all, if no distinction is to be made?
Because people complained when cops brained people with batons, so a new tool needed to be found.
Because it's about the laws in our state that govern justified use of force, not the tool used.
