Police's use of Tasers

As any Canadian has heard quite a lot of lately, people across the nation have been in a rut about police officers and their use of tasers to subdue criminals. There have been 26 reported deaths due to taser use from police officers in the past couple of years and now people are thinking that the police are out to get criminals without caring for their safety. What people cant realize is that after reports of taser deaths come in it could take months to get standards changed for their use. The police is a huge organization. First they would have to get the people and scientists at the company where they got the tasers from to find a safer way to use them. Then they have to ship out how ever many tasers to however many police forces across the country. Then the police forces have to have rules established for their use before any kind of standard can come to be.

Of course after any one hears that they will say "Oh then you need to change the system. Well if you have any ideas pass em along because the main problem with the type of country we live in is that it is slow and whenever the 'Human Element' gets put into a system there are bound to be mistakes. So If you have an idea that can take the human element out of our system of power and law then you're smarter than me because in my opinion this is the best we got.
