Tasers

The recent death of Raoul Moat has highlighted the use of Tasers and in particular the new version which was used on Raul immediately prior to his death which is currently being tested by British Police.  I found this promotional film on the new Taser which was deployed against Moat.  Expect these to be used regularly in our local communities.

Update: 12.30

I have recently been accused of only publishing "bad" news.  So he is some good news - Taser International who make these weapons has just yesterday posted second quarter losses of $1.4 million.  The company has tried to reassure investors that it will turn the situation around by increasing sales by targeting private security companies and individuals - so maybe not all good news!
