“HUM” Taser to the chest .25% possibility of injury, bullet to the chest 100% possibility of injury. Let the desk jockeys weigh the options and leave street cops alone. Tasers are an asset and save many lives both suspect and officer, why would anyone want to change that. This is just another step toward taking the taser away.
