  Tasers, School Police, & School Safety
Tasers are hand-held weapons that deliver a jolt of electricity from a device triggered from a nearby distance.
These range from Tasers being used on younger children for situations not life threatening to use on several students who asked to be voluntarily jolted by a Taser and an officer complied with the request.
At least one of the students on which the Taser was used had reportedly pushed a police officer and refused to stop after the officer arrested her brother.

There is word starting to come in from some police agencies that the use of the taser is being elevated in departments' Use of Force Policies.
Generally, many U.S. police have considered the taser to be within policy to use when the situation requires more force than control holds, but less force than striking.
Now, that might be changing with departments elevating the use of the taser to the next higher level comparable to that of striking.

 Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Tasers Under Fire
Tasers have been used locally to end violent standoffs and subdue suicidal people, but a P-I review found they're also being used routinely in far less threatening situations -- including against juveniles, pregnant women and people who have already been handcuffed.
They are a reminder of a night 18 months ago when he was shot with a Taser and then endured the device being pressed against him at least three times.
For every person complaining that Tasers are abused, many more cops swear Tasers have saved lives and reduced injuries for both officers and the people they arrest.

 USA: Excessive and lethal force? Amnesty International's concerns about deaths and ill-treatment involving police use ...
Tasers have been described by many police departments as "filling a niche" on the force scale.(4) However, Amnesty International is concerned that deployment of tasers, rather than minimizing the use of force, may dangerously extend the boundaries of what are considered "acceptable" levels of force.
Taser International, which told Amnesty International that it tracks reports of deaths, has issued a number of public statements asserting that in no case has the taser been found to be a "direct cause" of a fatality.
She found the "excruciating pain" invoked by the taser might also be a factor in the death of a person with serious heart disease who "may have an increased risk of death during stressful situations, including physical as well as mental stress".

 USA: Excessive and lethal force? Amnesty International's concerns about deaths and ill-treatment involving police use ...
Where US law enforcement agencies refuse to suspend tasers, the organization is recommending that their use of tasers is strictly limited to situations where the alternative under international standards would be deadly force, with detailed reporting and monitoring procedures.
The study found that officers had tasered at least sixteen people who were already handcuffed, and sixteen juveniles (details of the latter cases were unavailable due to their age).(44) Most such usage was found to be within the official policy.
Tasers have been promoted as reducing liability against police departments for excessive force, on the grounds that they are less likely to cause injury than other more dangerous or lethal weapons.

That may be the ultimate lesson to draw from the experiences of police departments that have issued Taser guns to their officers.
But as the Taser spreads rapidly, it is raising questions about whether the weapon, which can also be applied directly to the skin as a stun gun, could be abused by the police.
Policies limiting the use of Taser guns should be strictly enforced, so that officers are held accountable if they resort to a Taser gun when safer and less painful methods can safely be used to obtain an offender's compliance.
