with his rant about tazers never working
Looked to me like the guy had his hands up until the cop said "I'm going to tase you" and started moving in.
I got into an argument as well why its not feasable for everyone to use nonlethal
It's less about them 'never' working
His argument that if americans wanted self defense, then why not use non lethal?
De-escalation needs to be a thing. I didn't sense any from that cop.
***REEEEEEEEEEEE***
And more of a fact that, if it's not 100% reliable, and you're trying to use it to stop someone trying to attack you
why the hell do you depend on it?
two barbs. both have to hit. Even so, there are some people who can resist it.
And some clothing can render it neglegible
Some people don't crumple at pepper spray, either.
adrenaline, one hell of a drug
Uh huh.
Also drugs.
I mean people sometimes dont reaalize they were shot
yes, drugs are one hell of a drug too
Tranqs are also on the same boat.
Different dosages
And overdoses. Also have to be applied at specific parts.
oh noes! his left foot is OD'ing, quick! amputate it
Basically, imagine if you had a 'non-lethal' means of self-defense. This mode of defense rolls two six sided dice. If either die rolls a 3 or lower, the attack fails. If the total comes out below an 8, the attack fails.
Would you trust that weapon to defend your life?
you roll a dice?
When did reality become D&D?
do i get + points from my charisma buff?
No. 😛
But I mean, that's the taser dilemma in a nutshell.
You've got a low chance of it actually working
you get bitched at by the media for using it
you get bitched at by the media for not using it.
I mean, the media was talking about some guy at a felony traffic stop having a 'shotgun' pointed at the suspect.
media is damned if you do, damned if you dont
as long as they can rake in profits and don't get attacked
Never mind the fact that the shotgun they were pointing had a green buttstock, indicating that it was loaded with non-lethal rounds
I.E. beanbags
Meanwhile, Metokur covering a protest in Chicago right now
Where people are playing in the freeway.

Metokur's already talking about how CocaCola should counter the old rioter pepsi ads
by just running a coke truck through the crowd...
