As someone who teaches Martial Arts I find it hilarious that these big tough police 'men' need anything but their hands to subdue ANYONE!!!
If you can't get handcuffs on a criminal then you may want to check into an office job. Take pride in your profession. I personally would take it as a mark of shame if I were a police officer and had to resort to a taser.
Grow some balls and do your job or step aside.Police work is dangerous. If you don't like danger then get out. What they want to do is minimize danger to themselves by maximizing danger to us.
