It does not matter. Not one bit. If you give bullies another tool to wield their authority they will use it. I am against the use of tasers. This local yocal threatened to tase my nephew to communicate his authority. He did not realize, due to his amazing power of observation, that the 35 year old he was threatening was severely handicapped and had the cognitive abilities of a 2 year old. I'm not saying all cops are bad. I'm saying if you give a bully a tool to make bullying easier, they will use it.
