Stupidity is catching.
Pretty stupid for sure. Shows just how bad the educational system has become. In America it is just as bad if not worse. Almost 35% think that the carvings on Mt Rushmore is a natural landmark. DOH!!!!

If you take away the tazers then they will only have the gun left. Tazers are an option rather than the gun. There are those that have died and will die but it is still much safer than shooting them.
As a 25 year Paramedic I prefer to see a tazed person than one that has been shot.
And for those that think that there are other options you live in a fantasy world. Try dealing with a meth head that hasn't slept for 4 days and is extremely violent and not rational.
The goal is to not get yourself hurt and a tazer is a way to reach out and touch someone without putting yourself in harms way.
Sure, some people have died but that is part of the risk when people put themselves in a situation where police have to deal with it. If you don't run up against the law your chances of being tazed are ZERO.
Since the UK is a mother may I country who loves to control and tax the populace this is a great way for the citizens to contribute to the welfare of the country.
Tax and license all WiFi connections. This is a revenue stream and an excellent control mechanism.
The UK could even set up a ministry of WiFi and grow down the road to require even more of your tax dollar. They could hire some wardrivers to find open networks and issue fines to generate even more income.
You have to look at the possibilities.
Okay, problem solved. Let's go down to the pub and have a few. Last one in buys.
