Special Report

(Page 2 of 2)

That's what's passing for protecting and serving these days in Florida. Unsurprisingly, the police who are indulging themselves so frequently in their newest toy are telling us all this is for our own good. Police constantly defend the use of Tasers as a good alternative to a shot from a 9mm, as if they would shoot someone for being drunk and disorderly or skipping school.

"Would you rather be hit by a piece of pipe or a Taser?" Florida Sheriff David Gee said. "The Taser only lasts a few seconds. The pipe can break your arm."

Well, by all means, give us the Taser, O Benevolent Ones. And thanks for not breaking our arms. I knew there was a benefit to living in a free society.
