TASER GUNS BY UK POLICE ,HAVE BEEN CAUSING CONTROVERSY IN AMERICA
28-07-2005 04:24
This article is a fair use for educational purposes. It is one of dozens of law enforcement articles specifically about TASER GUNS and deaths caused by them. One state , Ilndiana, has stopped using TASER guns because the police there believe the TASER gun to be unsafe.Yet, the UK police shot a man in hiding in a bathroom. The neighbours saud they heard three shots. A little terraced house in Birmingham,UK, hardly has more than five feet of space between the bathroom and the corrider in front of the bathroom; the TASER gun should be well away , at a distance of yards away from the target , before the police should have shouted "police. Please come out of there or we will shoot" or something of that natute.
We must be careful that we do not become a police state.
