I have one last quick question--I suppose there could be two.

I know Mr. Ouellet asked a question with regard to guns. We know that some police forces in the world--very few--don't carry guns. Would you not say that a society evolves when the police don't carry weaponry or whatever? Society seems to manage.

Would either of you gentlemen believe in taking away the taser from police forces and make a recommendation, right now, that we should stop using tasers until someone has enough authority to say to use them? Would either of you two gentlemen recommend that right now?
