text: should police officers be allowed to electrocute citizens with 50,000 volts of electricity using tasers? tasers are not replacing guns so basically tasers are being used to electrocute citzizens for minor reasons such as not agreeing with an officer on a speeding ticket. no. only when in danger of death. i got tazed in a crowd. remdomly tazed. im pretty durable but that was so painful. felt like i pulled mescles for days after.
