Should police go back to batons and give up tazors?

They still have batons. Some cops in Miami were cracking skulls earlier this month.

Pretty sure they also have those collapsible batons like the one that was used on Nancy Kerrigan’s knee. One of those hits like a motherfricker and gives you a good reach advantage provided they don’t have a gun.

How bout batons with tazers on 'em?

The reason for the taser was to maintain a safe, reactionary distance from combative individuals. To use a baton, it has to be close quarters combat. The taser allows an officer to keep a distance, yet gain control of an individual. So no, keep the taser and use when needed to avoid actual up close, physical combat.

..maybe divide the cops between unarmed "peacekeepers" and a a well trained SWAT team to enforcement of law and order when necessary.

Why not both?

We need water cannons for these riots..

Either way, the narrative would be “ he was a good ( boy or husband) and this was too much .

It was his rifle that i made him put down. It was an illegal hunt, so not unusual to have a rifle. 26 degrees he had heavy coveralls with too long of a sleeve and the cuff spun around and hung up. So yes mr civilian , thats what happened. And that is cool headed professional thinking. Not arm chair po dunk fishtown civilian macho thinking. So, now i cancelled out what should have been common sense, as to why a rifle was present, i cancelled out the cuff mishap, which again common sense would have prevailed, then quick professional thinking resulted in an end that was professional. And no use of juvenile emoticons. State recruitment usually avoids the gum chewing sunglasses on top the head, macho run with the pack applicants.
