Have you read Radley Balko's Rise of the Warrior Cop yet? It's in my "to read" pile, but I suspect one of the things it's going to tell me is that taking away cops' tasers isn't going to resolve the problem without some other structural change. In far too many cases, the police see themselves as an occupying army (which many of them were before getting out of the army and becoming cops).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
