It's a very good point. I don't pretend that my views are the be-all and end-all. That's why it's very helpful to get the input, as we have, from the people who have to actually deal with these situations. I am concerned, though, that because the taser has been up until recently considered a non-lethal weapon, there has been a sense that it could be used more readily than it likely should.
