The use of traditional tasers by law enforcement is fascinating. A Polish immigrant was tased by Canadian police while in handcuffs, and died as a result. [1] When investigators asked for the studies and data about how tasers were proven safe for use on humans, the answer was “what?”. Turns out nobody tested, or certified or in any way figured out of tasers are safe on humans. Companies just started making them and selling them to police forces en mass.

Having seen video of police tazing people in the head and neck... I would posit that they are intending to make the tazer as dangerous as possible through misuse.

The longer this criminal terror gang continues to operate with impunity, the more we need to be thoroughly documenting individuals who will need to face justice for our society to heal when we eventually get our Nuremberg moment. In this case, at least whomever is signing off on this deliberately malevolent escalation of force, including up their autocratic chain of command, whomever tortures or kills using these devices, plus whomever is managing their manufacture/sale (graft being only real goal here beyond performative cruelty). Everyone involved knows what they are doing is at odds with the western values of liberty and human rights our country was founded upon and made great by - they simply don't care due to whatever grievance they have with the system (legitimate or not). Which is why when flagrant criminality happens within their ranks and turns into a national issue, they double down rather than taking a minute to do any sort of reflection. And so - no clemency, no amnesty, no "just following orders", no "my orders were misinterpreted", no mass pardons, no slinking back into the shadows holding on to their "lost cause". Criminal responsibility, period. Government jackboots executing people might be considered just fun "anti-woke" entertainment in 2026, but it needs to be known that the winds will eventually shift.

When the inevitable trials of the Trump administration and it's agents occurs... We should ask Germany to let us hold the trials in Nuremberg.
