Just because they are not typically lethal, does not mean that less discretion should be used. The police are a bit slap happy with those tasers.

We have only heard the official story from the PD, I would also be interested in hearing what the off duty police and witnesses who were friends of Norman Stamp have to say about what went down last night. When you are tasered your body locks up, i'm just curious how someone who's muscles are locked up is able to pull out a gun and point it at someone. Daily Breather.

Something about this story just doesn't seem right to me. A 44 year veteran pulling a gun on uniformed police officers?? I dunno maybe because I just watch Street Kings this weekend but it seems kinda sketchy to me. No I am not for police having a firearm if you are drinking.

If the officer(s) are inebriated problems could be created where there might not be any (ie the situation mentioned above). But when there are police shortages that one off duty officer might just make a difference. Overall I think it weighs out to have them armed, and the situation above is just a case of drunken stupidity. This is a really tough call.
