| Police use Taser on nude man walking a dog |
| 2008-09-16 |
| A 40-year-old man walking his dog in the nude was Tasered by police when he refused to follow an officer's commands. David McCranie of the Tallahassee Police Department said an officer on patrol spotted the man shortly after 8 p.m. Friday. The man was asked what he was doing and told the officer, ''Allah told me to watch a Bruce Willis movie and walk the dog,'' McCranie said. McCranie said using the Taser was the only way to subdue the man without having to hurt him. The man was then sent for mental-health evaluation and treatment. |

| #7 I suspect I would use a taser too if they guy was going to fight. Not too many handles to get hold of when they are nude. Taser, cuff. Simple. At one time all cops had to meet a size requirement. The advantage to that is a big cop has a better chance to wrap someone up without hurting them. Little folks like me would have to hurt them. All else being equal; size matters. On the other hand they do seem to use them a lot but it's better than a baton, cosh or choke hold. All of which are the other options. |

| #1 I have a growing unease with Tasers, they seem to be hitting people with them for everything from littering to flipping other people the bird. Those damned things arent a toy. |
