That way they can't shoot people, and they can't complain that you took their guns

I still don't understand why they even bother giving them tasers

Like are they the most underused piece of equipment ever or something?

Better idea: Train them better, hold them accountable for their wrongdoings to ensure others are more careful. Put body cams on them and don't allow the officers control of them.

I have no idea why so many every day citizens want to argue when people suggest stuff like that. "It's a hard job why don't YOU do it then!"...the system needs change and so many people stand in the way of it for no reason.

When someone invents a weapon that drops someone unconscious exactly like shooting them dead (phaser set to stun, Intars, etc.), they will be replaced. Until then, they need some quick-acting stopping force that doesn't suck.
So train them better in its use.

Report: Stabbings by police increase by 1000%

All that really needs to be done is for bad cops actually get the punishment they deserve. The courts, the government, and the public need to stop coddling them and kissing their asses all the time. Corruption and authority worship are the biggest culprits here.

They're short range, only good for one shot, and if you don't hit perfectly they don't work.

Like the officer reached across his partner to shoot her

*Crime intensifies*

*Suffering intensifies*

This is the problem with the media reporting one wrongful shooting every day for a week but devoting maybe one sentence to every third justified shooting. People with no critical thinking skills will assume that wrongful shootings are common and justified shootings are extremely rare, when in fact it is the opposite.

It will prevent the cops from killing people. It will make it easier for criminals to kill cops and people, resulting in a net gain of deaths.

They actually don't get tasers very often for many reasons that make tasers not very useful: only accurate at short ranges, one shot, target can power through it, thick enough outerwear can stop them, and they can kill.

Why would they want to do that? Criminals just want to rob you, they wouldn't kill you unless they need to defend themselves. If they weren't worried that cops would kill them, they wouldn't need to take hostages for instance

This.

And what happens when the police are confronted by people with bullets? What will they do? Who'd work a dangerous job where you can't properly defend yourself.

They use non-lethal force all the time. I feel like you're getting your info on cops entirely from those police shootings that make national headlines.

I don't think that. Plenty of thugs kill people without self defense entering the equation. Like the thugs who killed Garner Rice and Castille
