yes I think they use them way too much. I've seen video of cops tasering a older lady cause she wouldn't get off the phone and step out of her car.. come on why can't you take the phone from her and drag the lil old lady out if that is what you need to do but why do you need to taser someone that poses no threat to you in any way..
In this case with a guy with a knife maybe they had cause to do it but i think they are way too trigger happy with tasers in general
