I agree, and that is what I assumed. But let us look at the appropriate purposes. We see that there are far fewer injuries to police officers, and far fewer injuries to individuals being arrested. It is very important to see that the tool drastically reduces the number of injuries to police officers. Is the purpose to reduce the number of injuries? I do not know and I cannot answer that question. I do not feel comfortable determining the explicit purpose of this weapon. Furthermore, what the media have shown or what we can see—even Amnesty International is now revealing cases of torture with this weapon—is that it is being used in cases where the average person does not understand why it was used.
In conclusion, I would like to say that in the case of excited delirium or multiple drug use, I think the first intervention should be medical. I understand that the person can move around and be threatening, but what was done before the taser existed? What do they do in hospitals or psychiatric facilities? What do they do in detention centres or prisons to subdue unruly individuals? Do they use a taser?
