“A bullet you can’t control, but a Taser, the electronic probes are not designated until the person pulls the trigger, so if you don’t hit your intended target you are not going to hit an innocent person,” Adams said.

“It’s insane, you’re putting the power of authority in a civilian’s hands,” another said.


What the hell am I reading?

Bullets go willy-nilly wherever they want to after leaving the barrel, but taser probes never miss and can be called back in the last split second if they were deployed but suddenly no longer needed. Every New York legislator knows those facts.

“You got people riding trains that are crazy.”
