Unfortunately, I think the strategy is to bankrupt the company by making it fight lawsuits, and eventually they may get a favorable jury. Tort reform is needed.

Wish they never took our tasers away.

The taser has probably been the most effective crime prevention tool I have ever seen or heard of. The street knows that thing before they ever see it. I had a guy yesterday that pointed to it and said I heard those things hurt. I told 'em you are right, they make ya miserable. Stopped the stupidity right then. That is what I am looking for. Less stupidity. That is what taser gives. Originally Posted by refusetostop

Liability Paranoia sickens me - It ignores the big picture. Originally Posted by refusetostop
