Vic Cops open season in Vic

[Gassick]

The TASER issue I asked a member about a couple of months ago and the jury is still out. Reason being that in the US reports are that the recipiant of the charge hits the dirt like sack of potatoes and fatalities are occuring from heads hitting objects and concrete on their way down. There is also the heart issue. To say that the victorian cops are trigger happy just shows that some people make comment from emotion and not fact and again I put it to those who people to put themselves in exactly the same situation and lets see how they would react, remember your choice of weapons are a truncheon or a handgun? I know what I would be reaching for!!!! I also reckon that the cops weren't being brave or heroic, they were reacting to a situation the only way they knew and unfortunatly it ended in the death of a member of the public, who put himself in that situation for whatever reason.
