As I see it, the Taser is becoming a policeman's first choice rather than the "next-to-last" choice. It is being misused by state police who are in a rush to defuse a situation.
The "punishment" is delivered before the trial -- not after. No judge or jury present. Is it a form of torture? Absolutely. No one could disagree with that.
Police need to be patient, be calming and be human.
Torture is not an option!
