Police Tasers

This makes me a little nervious. I am not against NZ police having means to defend themselves, but it sounds like they are playing down the seriousness of sending 50,000 volts through another persons body.
Personally, I do not trust the NZ Police Force at large to have access to these weapons. Many Officers I have met, I would not consider capable of sound decision making or the maturity needed to consider the consequenses of firing something like this at another person.
It seems a bit too easy; fire it, press a button.
