Gee, this is a no-brainer here... get shot by a real gun and need some type of surgery or get tazed and wake up in the back of the cruiser. Too bad gang-bangers don't use these devices instead of guns, that way there'd be less kids lying dead in the streets regardless of what country you live in.
Police need some type of weapon to fight crime with, a taser isn't any more of a torture device than a screwdriver. It's simply a humane method of bringing down someone who deserves it without actually wounding them with a bullet or nightstick. Maybe they need to take out the people complaining about Tasers and give them the option of bullet or taser? That would solve the discussion then and there.
