Tasers were sold to the public as the police alternative to guns. They were designed to be used in lieu of a gun, not a baton, not as a compliance tool, not as punishment because the suspect “mouthed off”, and not as a threat for not cooperating. They are designed to use in place of a gun. The fact that the police consider them compliance devices should be considered torture pure and simple.
