    Tasers were introduced to police forces so that the police could de-escalate potentially lethal situations with less-than-lethal means. 2 seconds later, tasers turned into replacements for billy clubs to mete out punishment. That was not their intended use.

    Every time they do this, they are turning a non-violent event into a violent one.
