    From the article: "Even the lawful application of force can be misrepresented to or misunderstood by the public. More than ever, the police and the military must be highly discreet when applying force."

    That was a 1997 report. How well has that worked for us.

    From 2001 through 2010, deaths from the use of handheld tazers has averaged 4 per month in the US alone.

    These weapons kill and permanently injure citizens.
