Are Tasers Safe?
Most security personnel defend the use of Tasers, but Amnesty International said that there have been more than 100 Taser-related deaths since 2001. What do you think?
Harold Wilson,
Sound Producer
"You wouldn't be complaining about Tasers if you had a rubber bullet lodged within inches of your heart like me."
Mark Stuttgart,
Sales Manager
"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."
Karl Gordon,
Police Officer
"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."
Mary Watkins,
Systems Analyst
"People complain that getting hit by a Taser is really painful, but in reality it doesn't hurt until your hypothalamus starts working again."
Sam Williamson,
Sheet-Metal Worker
"I only hope this controversy doesn't affect my soon-to-be-launched national family-fun franchise, Taser Tag."
Ellen Anderson,
Chef
"Tasers are too much of a hazard. I guess the police will just have to go back to using tractor beams."
