There is a great deal of ignorance surrounding not only the Taser, but Law Enforcement's use of available force options. So many more people would be shot and likely die as the result, if it were not for the Taser as an available less than lethal force option.  For those that have had a Taser used on them in circumstances that otherwise could have justified an Officer's use of deadly force, be thankful it was used and effective.
