I think the police should be able to use any force needed to stop a suspect. If a person is a criminal they should be stopped.

I agree Samuel because criminals are bad so they need to be stopped

Hi Samuel, I agree with you because they are doing something illegal and they should be stopped.

I think that police shouldn't use force because they can have heart problems, but if that suspect does anything to the police he would use force because you need to give respect to the officer.

I think that tasers should not be used because they are extremely dangerous. I feel that people are more scared of guns than tasers because they can actually kill you with one shot.

I agree that tasers are dangerous because they can cause problems to the body

Hi Luis I agree with you that tasers are dangerous. They can cause people problems in the body like it can kill them or paralyze them. Guns are also dangerous like it can kill someone or injure them.

Luis, tasers are safer than guns. Guns are dangerous.

Tasers are dangerous but guns can kill someone and tasers can only hurt them.

I think that the police should not be able to use tasers because it can harm the person if they have any problems with their health. They should not not use it on kids, elderly people, or pregnant women. They could also kill them with a taser.

Hi marcus v I agree with the fact that police use tasers on the person an it is safer.

I think police should use tasers because it is less dangerous than a gun.

Hi Marcus I agree that tasers are less dangerous than a gun but it could also harm people who have any health problems.

I think police should not use any force necessary because they will go too far and there will be too many injured people and some deaths. All the cop has to do is say I applied force and then they basically get away with their bad deed.

I think police should use force on suspects because the suspects will escape and they will get away with it.

Hey Ramon R I agree cops can't do what they do because some do go too far but, there are those who are good and don't abuse the power that they have. Police shouldn't use any and all force. They should be the cops they signed up to be.

Kimberly R

Hello Davi C! I agree but also disagree with what you're saying. Why I dislike is because you said "They should be the cops they signed up to be." They are being the cops they signed up to be but they had to go to school before becoming a cop and like us being in school they needed to learn what to do, what not to do, and when they should do it. And they learn that they can use a taser if the person isn't doing anything right.

David n

Yes I agree with police having to use force on someone else to stop them from running away.

Davi C

I feel like police shouldn't do what they do by using all force. I think it is wrong and bad for them if they do that. The police could always just say stop and if that doesn't work hold them down, but don't use a taser

Willian L

I think police shouldn't use any force because they can hurt people or some can get shocked for being misled by the police. Instead of guns they should use tasers. The only time they should use a gun is when there is robbery at a bank. For tasers they should use it on people that are stealing or try to run away from them.

If someone is not listening to a cop it is okay for the police officer to use force on the suspect or get tased.

Kimberly R

I agree that they should use any force if needed! This is what they have learned to do. If the person doesn't have a weapon or isn't trying to hurt someone but, is trying something that isn't right they can give them a warning. If they don't listen then they should taser because it is much better than them using a gun on them.

fernando s

I don't think it is right to use force on people. The police can tell them to stop, and if they don't stop then they can use force.

Yes they should care about them because they don't know if they're going to die and you don't want that to happen.
