Ask LR...Question

So...Does a shooting a taser really feel the same as shooting a gun? Never done either but would really like to know. Because I can't believe a cop would shoot a person in front of all those people otherwise. That video is creepy. And if so...as a lawyer [please forgive me] I would I sue the taser manufacturer for a defective product because they know it is "foreseeable" that a cop who they market those tasers to would confuse the two. I figured LR would know the answer to this question.

I'm with you. I don't know how a policeman could ever confuse a taser with a gun.

Where do you think LR is? I hope he isn't ill.

There are some tasers that feel like a gun in your hand. But, they are lighter than a gun. If the two were placed too close together, I can see how someone could grab the wrong one, especially when the adrenaline is running. Sounds like some procedural changes are needed at that police department.

My ankle isn't getting any better. I finally saw a doctor Wednesday, and she authorized an MRI -- for the 5th of February. When I'm home, all I want to do is lie flat on my back, so I haven't blogged from home. At work, I'm lucky to get any stories written, because the pain has given me a short attention span. But, we're at war. There are people who need treatment far more than I do.
