Taser Ban
Florida is looking for a ban on the police use of Tasers:
Two senators called for a statewide ban Friday on police use of Tasers – at least until medical studies can verify their effect on people – but law-enforcement officials said the electric shock is much better than using a nightstick or handgun in a violent situation.
I’ve been critical of Taser use but I don’t think they should be banned for use by the police. I just think they need to stop using them as compliance tools.

Ditto. Keep them in the arsenal, but move them next to “lethal force” and away from being next to “harsh words” on the force continuum.
