Your daily taser update!

Uh oh.

I was elected alderman les than 72 hours ago, and now I see this in one of the local papers:

Hardly a week goes by in
Manchester without one of
the city’s police officers getting
bruised or banged up
while attempting to subdue
and handcuff an overaggressive
criminal suspect.
Police believe that one way
to reduce these dangerous
confrontations is to employ
the use of electric tasers.

On Wednesday, Nov. 7,
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
appeared ready to
authorize the police department
to purchase 30 tasers.
But the issue was tabled to
allow police officials time to
come up with an exact cost
estimate for purchasing the
tasers and training 125 officers
on the proper use of the
crime-fighting tool.
