Discuss the use of Tasers by police as they relate to Use of Force. In your discussion be sure to address the following questions:
What are the advantages of a taser over other use of force options?
Does the public have the right to expect “safe” measures when resisting arrest?
Provide an example(s) where police use of a taser resulted in horrific pain, trauma, or death. Do you believe that the taser should have been used in this situation, why or why not?
Discuss the concept of Good Samaritan Laws? If one witnesses a person in need of help, should they be obligated to help? What if a person was an off-duty first responder? Please use at least one case example in your discussion.
