        That is an ignorant comment. If his mode of communication was waving the pipe, then why would he think it’s a problem w/ police?

        What a stupid response! What was he communicating with the pipe? "I'm Professor Plum and I committed murder in the Conservatory"??

        Good point. Still, I would've dropped the pipe. I think most rational people would have as well.

        That is primarily my point. What if he didn’t know or wasn’t rational? Shoot first and ask questions later is very dangerous.

        This seems to be how police these days react. Something is terribly wrong with their training. Or they are in the wrong job.

        Still can't understand after reading all these stories how the taser isn't the first choice over a gun. A gun is the easy way out.

        A Taser is also not that “non-lethal” as it advertises.

        A person that has been tazed does have a much much MUCH less chance of dying. Exact reason I carry one instead of a gun.

        It's only in extreme cases where tasers result in deaths.
