Tonight, the city council will consider the acceptance of a $41,410 Justice Assistance Grant (Homeland Security stuff) to purchase 35 tasers for the police department. Do we need tasers in Fullerton? Judith Kaluzny raises some good questions in this letter to the council. Click here to read more.

I'm getting a lot of these videos. They are all satisfyingly funny.
The 24th Amendment to our Constitution doesn't get a whole lot of attention. It is a relic from an era…
Heh that was a little awkward. Just got thru playing at a fundraiser for the United Farmworkers, and Florice and…
What a tempest in a teapot. Screw the Charter and do any damn thing you want. The Democrat corporatist, Zionist,…
Sure you can, Cire!
Thanks for the correction on timing, Vern. I wanted to go ahead and respond to Chumley’s story as soon as…
Seems rather toxic fascism er femininity. Florice is a fascist!
Johnathan Hernandez, also running for AD 68, and eager to speak to the (former) Club, wanted me to mention him;…
A C&D email threatening damages for using the word Democrat? Wow. Seems wildly unnecessary. Why does DPOC have a problem…
Oddly enough I assumed every police department had tasers as part of their “less-lethal” arsenal. When used properly tasers do provide a viable alternative during an officers “escalation of force” in a combative situation.
Unfortunately, in some cases officers immediately jump to the use of tasers as an alternative to getting their hands dirty, or getting hurt, in an old fashioned knock down drag out fight. Everyone remembers how ugly the Rodney King arrest looked as officers used night sticks. That incident is probably why tasers have become the fashion statement of the modern police officer.
I’m sure most police officers could write pages both for and against the use of the taser and all would be valid arguments. This is something the city fathers are going to have to decide. Personally I’d rather take a beat down from a nightstick and suffer a broken arm or leg rather than being shocked into cardiac arrest.
“Do we need tasers in Fullerton?”…. sure we need them Tony!
As we criticize entire world for the brutality we must enhance our own brutality Tony.
As the leaders of the free world we need best concentration camps with best torture techniques and best death squads spirited after SAPD13.
We are laughing at Iranian concept of Supreme Leader yet we are romanticizing British Queen or Supreme Court.
Twice we got President Bush selected by Electoral College rather than his opponent elected by Popular vote…. but we have democracy and the others do not, we think.
I think that we Americans are full of sh*t.
“Don’t tase Granma bro!”
Stanislav “I think that we Americans are full of sh*t.”, for once I would agree with you, if you change “we” to “most”.
OK Tony, you can exclude yourself.
A taser is standard issue to law enforment officers in Fullerton. They all already have them. Perhaps more research into what is already in the arsenal of Fullerton officers was warranted?
i think we have enouph tazers now.
