this is why i think the police forces should use nonleagth weapons like tasers or bean bag guns in thess sistuations.

No need to kill some one, it is to much papaer work any how....

I'm not sure how efficient a taser would be in a hostage situation. Even a bean bag gun would have to have to be a pretty accurate shot to make sure the guy with the gun is unconcious, unable to simply pull the trigger and kill the hostage. (In this case, they had no idea that his gun was jammed.)

I think some situations call for lethal ammunition.

Besides, the guy had already been in jail for beating his wife and kids, I don't think he had much desire to go back. And he DID try and shoot his wife. He got what he had coming.

lol the tasers that shoot 2 prong thingys that delivers so much voltage it'll knock you out for a couple of hours.

I'm glad they killed the guy. If he was just knocked out and arrested, everyone has to pay for him to be in jail.

This is why we need Jedi. Or anime-quality ninjas.

wow darkness, may be you should go live in texus.

Ya thos tasers they have now that shoot the progns whould work just as good as a gun if they could get close enougth. And i am prity shure a ben bag gun to the head whould knock you out for along time and posbley even kill you but at least it whould have a chance of not killing them.

Tony · **Posted:** Sat Aug 28, 2004 2:54 pm

Dan - the idea here is to knock the target out instantly, so that the triger will not be pulled as he's falling down.

for a bean bag to achieve such results, it would have to be fired at velocities that if not kill, will fracture the skull of the target.

now what do you suppose the community should do with a person who took someone hostage and now recieved brain damage? Confused
