In Great Britain, Police Can Use Taser Guns on Children | The John Birch Society - Truth, Leadership, Freedom Is this the slippery slope of soft arming police with "undeadly" force, that they see as a device of torture administered in public? This trend toward totalitarian state control of society will also catch innocents in its juggernaut need to resolve problems we as individuals are not fit to resolve. Criminal behaviour is identified and sequestered into the constrained society of jails. The effect of such concentrations of criminals being made to have limited social contact but with each other is known to have a low effect, it can not reform anyone but could scare the wits out of a teenager considering the odds of a criminal enterprise instead of school. Such logic works well for the very stupid who do not learn to look after others as well as themselves from an early age. They see the world in terms of what it can do for them, only. Therefore we mete out punishment to "suit the crime". Tasers are not reasonable because they randomly kill about 1% of the "taser victim". Use of bully tactics and the teaching of lessons (humiliation) is now an instinct that, like the stocks of medieval times, can be applied to children - to teach then that lesson that a short jolt in prison used to serve. Guns at least can not be used without consequence. Just how long will this go on before some bright spark invents Taser resistant clothing?
