British policemen are now allowed to user tasers on children and unarmed “potential” violent offenders. The state of society in the UK and the US is degrading rapidly. The police state is on the rise.
…they can now be used against all potentially violent offenders even if they are unarmed.
It is the decision not to ban their use against minors that is likely to raise serious concerns.
Home Office Police Minister Tony McNulty said medical assessments had confirmed the risk of death or serious injury from Tasers was “low”.
Reports of death and injury from tasers run rampant. Several people have died in the past year alone from tasers.
Tasers are not a way to control people in general, it is to stop violent offenders without killing them. The police, on the other hand, don’t want to believe that. The British police are allowed to go so far as to taser pregnant mothers!
The Government scientists were also asked to test whether the weapons could cause a miscarriage if used on a pregnant woman.
While not saying whether police would be allowed to Taser an expectant mother, the Home Office said the DSAC committee had “specifically asked” for computer simulations to be carried out to analyse the effect on “a pregnant female”.
The people of the United Kingdom need to wake up before they find themselves in jail (or tasered) for saying something that a cop or political figure disagrees with.
