After watching lots of Live PD; why are they so hesitant with the tasers?

If I were a cop, anyone who hinted at resisting/fighting would get tased.

Why isn’t the taser the first thing that comes out?

That’s why you’re not a cop.

Because they can still kill.

Tasers can still kill, and if an individual sees it come out, it can easily escalate a situation.

It is basically the main reason to watch Live PD, so you would think that they may be a little more liberal with the use of them.

I train BJJ with several LEO’s and we discuss at length how practical some simple chokes would be much better for getting a perp apprehended when they get choked out, especially one that is strung out on drugs where pain really doesn’t phase them.

They are too damaging and at the same time too ineffective.

How many times you seen those crackheads rip the prongs out and keep going?

They found out that their viewers like hot women-gone.

Their viewers liked watching douchebags get tased-gone.

Their viewers didn't want a plethora of commercials. It is so commercial-laden in the last hour that it has been rendered unwatchable.

I wonder how their ratings are, compared to when they started?

Agree with everything you say, but my biggest complaint is, it’s just generally boring. I’m not asking for a hi speed chase or shoot outs every episode, but a cops job is basically boring as hell. This show reflects that. But it’s not enjoyable to watch.


Not knocking the job- most jobs are boring. But no one really wants to watch it. That’s why there is no “Live Customer Service Rep” or “live air traffic control”.

It’s not a toy. Paperwork.

Had a cop tell me that he could have tazed me for getting out of my truck in my driveway right as he pulled in.

I laughed at him and walked in my house while debating if he had any recourse had I told him to go frick himself.

*He thought I was someone else. Run the plates before chasing someone down fricknuts. Chevy built thousands of trucks that color.

No, I really don't like most cops. Clowns that got beat up in HS for the most part.

All those cameras... it's probably a field day for some aggressive field attorneys.

But it doesn't have to be. They have 2-3 teams in about 6-7 towns. It is Fri. and Sat. night when people are getting drunk and high. There are plenty of criminals that are not just getting a DUI.

20 camera teams should be able to find at least 5-6 exciting things per hour. It cannot all be De'Quanmodello with 2 grams of weed in the console or Gomer keeping it hunnit with some middle aged ditchpig that just got beat up by her worthless boyfriend.

I don't need a shooting every 8 minutes, but at least bring back the eye candy and cut out the 6 minutes of commercials, then 5 minutes of show thing.
