As a retired LEO, I can tell you that TASERS are not a magic wand. In my career, my TASER deployments were about 50% effective (my agency is near the US-Canadian border where people frequently wear heavy clothing). The agency-wide rate was about 40%. TASER can only be considered for use in a deadly force situation when there are one or more other officers present with lethal force ready in case the TASER does not stop the bad guy.

Taser 10 is different though.

[@vsboy2577]

Brutal weapons that are increasingly been misused

[@collinward9563]

You’re clearly uneducated on the weapon system

[@jayhorton4088]

They already got tasers but they still choose there guns

[@jumhed994]

Tasers aren't very effective.

[@LockupIII]

Sounds like those folk FAAFO.

[@hezahenchos]

Semi automatic, extended MAG, longer barrel, there is going to be bulk taser trigger happy cops

[@DoubtingThomas333]

Better than the alternative, and that's the whole point. If you watch the tasercon 2023 opening keynote, you'll see how their tech and other companies they work with are literally at the top of their game. Really game changing tech is being released as we speak.
