but seriously, no where besides usa cops use so much and so often tasers
take it easy guys
id assume you think tasers > lethal force as a euro though
no, but in most cases you could solve a potentially dangerous situation without lethal weapon or even taser
look at english bobbies does clearly even carry any weapon at all, it works for them
Don't compare european countries to america. They have no where near the problems we do. Gun control and everything is bullshit.
we have more problems, so lets have more guns? is that your argument?
I didn't want to go in depth.
But my point is that all people foreign or anyone who uses UK/Sweden/Japan as an example of how clearly having guns will reduce violence is just speaking of stuff that isn't relevant to our gun problem.
One of the biggest problems within the Gun issue itself is the fact we our directly above one of the most violent drug/gun havens in the world and we serve as a profitable gateway for illegal dealings.
Sweden/UK/Japan do clearly have to deal with that problem the way we do.
