Police brutality and misconduct, in many cases, takes on the form of the excessive and unreasonable use of a Taser. Tasers are designed to simply stun or temporarily disable an individual.  However, when they are used excessively and unreasonably by the police their use can result in catastrophic injuries and death.
There is no doubt that when used incorrectly, Tasers are deadly weapons.  Tasers should be used as a last resort.  In many cases of police brutality and misconduct, police have tased children, teens and adults who simply disagreed with the police or immediately refused to comply with an order.  Tasers should only be used as a last resort, when the police have adequate reason to believe that an individual is threatening to police or others.   Police all too often use Tasers too quickly, and cause serious injuries or even death to individuals who pose no threat to anyone.
