Reply #65: So says the police. The boy isn't around to tell his side of the story now is he?

And it's not like the police have never lied or planted a gun in order to make their actions look justifiable. A taser ought not be a tool used to break up a fight. The police are turning to their tasers fairly quickly without trying anything else because some jag-off told them it was not lethal. Well it's not "non lethal" people are dying and as per usual instead of doing something about the taser we have people saying "well he shouldn't have fought the cops". Define fight the cops because there are cops out there who will claim you assaulted them if you brush their hand off your shoulder.

And a civilian would not be able to use a taser to break up a fight nor to push off someone fighting them. Where I'm from Tasers are prohibited. Period.
