"They managed okay without tasers for decades." Don't you think Rodney King wishes he had been Tasered? I know you have a morbid fear of shocks, but most people don't. I'd bet the number of nightstick injuries and deaths far exceeds the Taser. I personally don't like the reliability of Tasers VS guns. The darts have to penetrate heavy clothing and reach the skin. A bullet has no such problem. But, I'm all for the cops having to use them first!

What method would you have the police use to subdue individuals who won't comply? They managed okay without tasers for decades. They have reduced the number of trips to the hospital generally required after a night stick is used not to mention the officers possible injuries. With a Taser the perp is usually fine in minutes of a shock, in fact most of the injuries related to Tasers are people falling down and hitting their heads and such. The stock is being manipulated on news and it's a great buy at this price.
