MrBoB51 Just to set things straight - George Reeves played Superman Steeve Reeves Played Hercules. As to the taser issue - just another expense for the taxpayers. Use the nightstick!!!!

Albany the idiot was pumped up so high on stuff that I bet his heart was about to stop on it's own....Tazering just helped it! Like the Kid from Brooklyn said " Give everybody a Louisville slugger" and see the creeps start something then. What fun it would be if a neighborhood watch group armed with tazers caught some creep Breaking into a home. They could take turns tazering him until someones battery runs too low and they have to call 9-1-1 to report the criminal.

This whole tazer thing is such a crock. It hurts no more than the sting you get from static electricity. What the sheriff needs to doi is appoint a possee of law abiding citizens, issue them tazers and let them ferret out the gang members, drug dealers, taliban sympathizers etc. etc. Lets clean things up.

The "biggest meanest most lethal firepower" is an angry mother in law, and the overcrowded belt answers the question, Why Don't policemen wear suspenders?

Do they have room on their already crowded belts?

Nope - not miserable at all. I just don't wear blinders and I'm just pointing out the facts, which by the way are quite pathetic.

When I was a kid I watched Sat. morning cartoons, especially Superman (steve reeves). The show started with some perp with a .38 shooting Superman in the chest and the bullets bouncing off and superman laughing. Then the perp throws the gun at him and he DUCKS. Remember that?? Now think about the 2 recent incidents involving tasers, one in the albany area and one here in Mont. Cnty. Give the tasers to the Animal control officers. Cops should have the biggest, meanest most lethal firepower there is. Tasers ain't it.

No the list grows at its normal rate, but you reinforce my last comment. Try posting a positive somewhere.

Disco - because they don't want to hear the taxpayers' opinions nor do they care. I'm with you - vote them all out including Obama in 2012!!! usedtolivethere - I think gogreen is just stating the facts - disturbing facts.

Go Green....all you ever do is complain. You've been waiting to attack these kids (not that I condone those instances) for a long time but couldn't find the forum for it so you just explode here. You must be a blast at parites....ever notice that people probably try to avoid you?

JohnSteady - I agree. Way too many repeat offenders out there being cushioned by us. Look at what they do with repeat DWI - the ignition interlock device for 6 months, which by the way if they can't afford it the taxpayers pick up the tab for them. When an officer yells "hands over your head" and an individual wants to ignore it, run and act like a lunatic - taser them - if that doesn't stop them - shoot the b#stard. It's time we clean up our streets and take them back from the garbage that distroying them.

Totally off the topic - just wondering if anyone else is fed up with school taxes. Three HS BP students arrested on the bus for pot, two GHS students facing drug charges, 2 Canjo students fracture another student's skull in the cafeteria, and more and more schools being added to the "need to improve" list....our taxes are going up for what?

Tasers and pepper spray have two advantages over guns - they make less noise and are easily acquired in several nearby states. Shocking!

We worry way to much of the criminal element! I bet less then .05 percent are not repeat offenders. Throw some water on them and then tazer! Before long the bleeding hearts will have the police just carry a night stick like the British did so they can holler "Stop! or I'll holler Stop again"! Like the now convicted Tony Baretta said " Don't do the Crime if You can't do the time!" Maybe the next question should be should the Police be heavily armed to make it a fair gun battle? Is this because of the nut job at the Gold's Gym that died after being tazered 5 times? He would have died if the police decide to shoot instead! I bet there was an underlying issue like drugs that set this guy off....unless he had some unknown health problem that caused him to go nuts and basically destroy the gym as a 1 man wrecking crew.

Just another reason for a criminal to file another lawsuit against Law Enforcement.
