What kind of police officer benefits most from carrying a taser?
Obviously the type who needs to rely on a taser as a replacement for physical strength.
I shouldn't have said there wouldn't be a need for tasers. They have their place, but should only be fired when they would otherwise have fired a gun had a taser not been available. That is what the taser was invented for, a non-lethal alternative to the gun.
But police departments across the nation saw tasers as an excuse to become lax on physical aptitude testing.
