Crim-cuddlers should just shut up

The Dom­Post reports that Tasers are help­ing in many sit­u­a­tions with calm­ing down perps.

    The Taser is sav­ing lives, and many crim­i­nals are sim­ply sur­ren­der­ing at the sight of it, police say.

    Nine peo­ple were shot with a Taser in its first year of use and some inci­dents were so vio­lent, the offender could have been shot with a firearm, if the stun gun had not been avail­able. Police pol­icy is to shoot at the torso.


    A tenth per­son was tasered in John­sonville on Friday.

That is so funny. Before the Taser was avail­able peo­ple may have been shot but now the Taser is avail­able the crims are very wary. Go fig­ure, they ignore a Glock which spits 9mm bul­lets and fear a jolt from a Taser. Ignore sthe gun that could kill you, fear the zap­per. Fricken dumb crims.

Back in 2006 vet­eran Crim-cuddler Marie Dyhrberg was all for ban­ning them.

    A cam­paign has been launched to stop the intro­duc­tion of taser guns to the police.

    It was revealed in Feb­ru­ary that tri­als of elec­tronic stun guns are planned for later this year. Now a group call­ing itself ‘Cam­paign Against The Taser’ is try­ing to fire up debate.

    Bar­ris­ter and group spokes­woman Marie Dyhrberg says there should be a full inde­pen­dent inquiry about the devices. She says with major con­cerns already being raised about police use of pep­per spray, it is crit­i­cal the intro­duc­tion of tasers is care­fully scrutinised.


Lib­eral, panty-waist crim-cuddlers should just  STFU. The Taser is sav­ing lives.

  • Interestingly the Taser isn't just saving Police lives. The 9mm round is so ineffective Police are forced to unload a lot more into a perp to attempt to stop them. The risk of that is accidentally....permanently stopping them.
