...who has never stood toe-to-toe with a suspect who doesn't want to go to jail, and who could be a contender in UFC. No officer needs to endure being beaten up and trust me, regardless of how prepared and confident an officer thinks he is, there's some guy out there who can beat some modesty back into him. I learned that firsthand. The job isn't about wrestling on the ground with violent suspects - it's about making an arrest when called for. In that regard, tasers are a safe way to avoid injury to the officer, and having to use deadly force on the suspect should that become necessary.
