You wouldn't be complaining about Tasers if you had a rubber bullet lodged within inches of your heart like me.

Sound Producer -
As a man who wears a thick-rubber gimp suit on his midnight visits to the nursing school, I have no problem with Taser use.

If you're a cop, deadly force is the last thing you want to use. However, if you're a really twisted cop, a weapon that leaves a suspect flopping about like an epileptic puppy is dead-bang perfect.
Karl Gordon
Police Officer -
People complain that getting hit by a Taser is really painful, but in reality it doesn't hurt until your hypothalamus starts working again.
Mary Watkins
Systems Analyst -
I only hope this controversy doesn't affect my soon-to-be-launched national family-fun franchise, Taser Tag.
Sam Williamson
Sheet-Metal Worker -
Tasers are too much of a hazard. I guess the police will just have to go back to using tractor beams.
