That's not true. Anytime any cop fires their weapon at a civilian, they are put on leave until it is investigated.

You're serious?

Yes, I am. My father worked for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office for nearly 30 years.

Must be a lot of cops on leave in the US then.

I guess so???

they should really put stop to those tasering. they are not dealing with any terrorist. they are suppose to protect citizens and not to hurt them. Aren't the Bush administration doing any thing about it.

Tasers are a non-lethal method of self-defense. They are a great tool and I support them.

And police know what they feel like. The police have to get tasered in training before they can use them.

I never knew that policemen go on leave when every they shoot someone.

Yup. They do until it's fully investigated.

Wow, so if like all the police had to go and stop a crime, everyone that shot someone would be on leave.
