A Whiff of Taser
From a reader: “So, following the memo to pick your targets carefully when employing the Taser, Taser invents a device to fire wildly into a crowd.”

Looks like TASER has scored another in the 10 ring with this!
Makes me wonder why more departments do not use systems like LRAD, or active denial M/Ws, or even "dazzlers".
Plenty of tech out there for the LEOs…just pick your "flavor".
Good post.
I mean "PCM"…got my blogs confused…been a long day (so far)…geez.
Sorry.
You remember that incident in Boston where the girl was killed by a pepperball that struck her in the head as police fired "less lethal" munitions wildly into a crowd of Red Sox fans?
I see the future of this device…
Victoria Snelgrove was her name. Poor girl. What a horrible way to go.
Give me a capable officer with conventional equipment over a TASER warrior any day.
