they have been using and buying tasers for quite some time. i think it was the result of poor supervision , top level giving commands to hold off on grabbing this guy until he headed for tube . then all hell broke loose costing this guy his life. interesting the guy they got today had a bomb belt strapped to his waist. ps i owned taser stock and am losing my shirt.

We had disagreed on the other guy's handling earlier (the shot electrician). The more details I read about the case, I'm coming around to the idea that maybe it should have been dealt with differently, and you're probably right in that regard. Once you (the police) have the suspicion that your suspect is wired to blow and you see him running into the subway, your options are not good. If you know anybody who is inventing a non-lethal weapon that can really knock someone out instantly, invest in it, because there will be a huge demand for it.
