Axon, the company that makes and sells TASER energy weapons, has an ambitious goal: cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in 10 years. The company is betting that better, less-than-lethal weapons can contribute to achieving this “moonshot” goal. With smart data and sophisticated training programs to support the technology, Axon is on a mission to bring law enforcement and community stakeholders together and create meaningful change.
One important component of the plan is the new tech itself-the TASER 10. As the latest iteration of Axon’s signature device, the TASER 10 has a range of 45 feet, comes with 10 probes, and deploys probes with a higher velocity than previous models. The goal is to give police a reliable, non-lethal tool to incapacitate subjects and provide another option to help de-escalate dangerous situations.
Still, as Axon CEO and Founder Rick Smith told Freethink, technology alone can’t solve a problem as big as gun violence between police and the public. It will also require training, policy, oversight, and public acceptance.

Wait, there's an annual Tasercon??? 😆
sounds like a sexy festival
The way police brutality has existed for so many years it would be criminal to not have a Tasercon
@@cheegum6296 tasers are brutality now?? goddamn cops cannot win
As long as this fixes the problems with the existing taser, a lot of officers will begin to rely on it more often. Some officers not calling any names or departments out but they just don't use the taser at all unless the suspect is shirtless or thinly clothed because its so unreliable and you get incidents where the taser could have solved it but the officer doesn't trust his weapon and it leads to a fist fight and then a deadly shooting.
it doesnt. all this taser does is make it more complicated to subdue someone. the problem with tasers is that they dont penetrate jackets or hoodies very well at all. this new device wont be able to get around that
@@mini_mozzer thats why they should use co2
@@fuzer4047 they do all use co2.
@@mini_mozzer This new taser has FAR more penetrating power than prior models... So yes. It will get around that.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 we’ll just have to see. im excited to see videos of dudes gettin tased by this thing out in the field on bodycams in a couple years
Nice to see someone improving non lethal -- did not see a thick clothing demo, heavy winter jacket!
Cheers
They showed it in the keynote: ruclips.net/video/ju42HtqDz50/видео.html
It will never work when you have talk shows pumping fear and hate.
This seems like a good idea, non-lethal weaponry really requires more research, after all it's much easier to cripple a person than to kill one.
* less lethal
they shold lose there lives . i have i solution but dont want to give .
@@dawdaw-bs8kc something something murder people right?
bro, the state shouldn't have the right to kill people. They have a horrible track record of getting it wrong.

An estimated 500 people have died from police use of tasers nationwide between 2010-2021. That's less lethal not non-lethal.
The problem is when the "bad guy" carries a fire gun, which is a quite normal thing... they ain't gonna use a taser to confront police.
Interviewer: “Why is it that for profit business is the one that’s leading what you would think might be public interest or political campaign?”
Real answer: “Because something like this is a little guy problem. Our corrupt politicians serve the 1% so things like this don’t get attention. Why do you think they had to go find the data themselves concerning shootings? Because the people running things didn’t want it collected! It made them look bad, proving they were running things with as little regard for the general public as they could get away with.”
REAL real answer; because Axon makes Tasers for profit and wishes to continue to do so, the more the better for Axon. It's that simple.
I own a taser pulse here in texas for self defense. I am a delivery driver. I hope civilians can access this technology as well.
Wont be able to.
Unless you are from a police department or recognized security company or agency then no, law enforcement or paramilitary grade less-than-lethal weapons are not sold nor allowed to be sold to the public. Moreover the everyday civilian couldn't even afford them since they cost at least a couple thousand of dollars for a single Taser gun not including the required cost of maintenence, and occasional training to be properly certified in order to use them.
@@DarkZerol that doesnt seem to be true.
@@user-bp3we5tz1o It's true. This type of grade of stun weapons are not offered to the public but only to law enforcement departments because of it's sophisticated features including those like an accountability function to keep track on the time and date on how and when the weapon was used. At the end of the day, these are still weapons not toys as they can certainly still kill a person in untrained hands.
@@DarkZerol They won't sell to civilians just yet, but I bet in 10 years they will be available as departments trade up to newer devices. Nowadays you can buy 1st gen x26's for fairly cheap. I think what will make owning a T10 difficult is the fact that the ATF considers them firearms and would have to be transferred via a FFL.
We definitely need to improve less-lethal weapon technology. However, I am skeptical about the viability of this multiple shot independent probe method. The demonstration shown here was all against stationary targets. It's much harder to get two independent probe hits on a moving target.
yeah the second i saw that i really lost faith in this video lol. there is absolutely no way that device would or should be implemented. its like making a pistol that shoots if you press the trigger 3 times instead of 1 time. that is calling for disaster
That was my thought, you're going to have to be a good but also quick shot to get NMI before the target can react.
You can keep shooting until you get NMI. You get 10 tries.
2:22 If you're gonna use non-lethal weapons, you gotta know what you're doing. Without proper training and education, you could seriously hurt or kill someone. There've been cases where things like tasers and rubber bullets ended up causing a lot of damage or even death. So, it's super important to use non-lethal weapons responsibly and only when you really need to.
Its good to know the emphasis isn't solely on deployment.
That’s why many departments don’t call them “non lethal weapons”, but rather say “less lethal weapons”.
Uh yes “less lethal”. Bean bag rounds, tasers, pepper ball, rubber baton rounds from 40 mm, all meant to hurt and immobilize, but not kill or maim. Doesn’t mean it’s a guarantee, it just lowers the probability of injury vs a lethal option
Someone pulled a gun on me 3 times in 3 years here in nyc randomly i couldnt care less
Why am I watching an ad campaign on this channel?
Because that's what this channel is - there are only a few videos recently here that aren't noted as “sponsored by” who the video is about, in other words an ad. Non-sponsored videos are sprinkled in to create an appearance of something real.
Police murder can be prevented by teaching and enforcement of their oath to the Constitution that took.
Dumbest comment of the year award 🏆
Your comment literally doesn't address anything... lol No one is saying they shouldn't take the oath. Additionally, you give no solutions and just whine.
Enjoy being wrong. Blocked.
@@aandyherr817you are the kind of ignorant citizen, that through your extra high level of ignorance; have permitted the slow erosion of trust in the police because of complacency. It's the kind of ignorance that endangers the lives of both officers and citizens. There was a reason the founding fathers wrote the amendments to the constitution. It was literally to prevent the authorities (whoever they may be) from doing EXACTLY THIS. Using unjust laws to create criminals out of ordinary citizens. The amendments are in place and are there to protect citizens from policing in this nature. It seems as though you would have supported the red coats and the Nazi SS....as the tactics used to subvert citizens rights come DIRECTLY from the SS playbook. You, my friend, have been brainwashed. I hope you wake-up.
@@aandyherr817🙄
Is drive stun available?
Great Video! Thank you!
Finally, Batman gun
Can I have one for my house?
I'm not convinced by this Taser, I get that you have accuracy, range and the opportunity to miss and still succeed but the fact that you have to make two shots for it to work still bugs me off.
I don't know about the US but here in France most of the time I had to draw it, it was when I had to go into an apartment with someone who's possibly armed, you don't have much space or time if someone lunges at you, if the first shot doesn't connect it goes to contact instantly.
The T7 either hits or miss but that's what you have in a split second, I may be wrong but I think the T10 requires too much time to be effective as you have to make two seperate effective shots instead of one when the person will sometimes be really close to you.
No way, he really said "police police"
Constructive capitalism can work! Say it louder!
I wanna buy one where’s the link 😢
Well I'm a little skeptical but I'm willing to... Give it a shot. 😀
3:45
That was actually smart
i like this, i dont think it will cut shootings by 50% but i think its a great thing to test out.
It won't fix the problem of cops like the cop in Philly who are not fit to be police officers. So much work needs to be done to better train and mental evaluate police officers. Regular mental evaluations and reviews need to be done. Hiring cops with PTSD from war in the middle east need to end. People who have killed dozens in war are not fit to "protect" and serve. That being said, tasers can be very effective if you know how to use it correctly. I'm carry one as a civilian because i'm worried about how shooting someone attacking me might end up in charges and losing my job and life as I know it here in liberal California.
Maybe have a couple of slots on an angle reserved for simultaneous firing in tense situations
At a distance of 45 feet how are you going to ensure you don't shoot them in the face or eyeball?
It's still better than a bullet... and more likely to recover from an injury like that, too.
There’s a reason it’s called “less-lethal” and not “non-lethal”
Each of these Taser gun have small computers built into them to detect whenever it has made a proper contact with the skin or clothing, if there isn't a proper or viable comnection with the darts then the electric shock will not be delivered for safety reason. Thus why the operator of these less-than-lethal weapons actually have to go through a specific training course before they can be certified to be permitted by their respective police department to carry and use them on duty.
Lokks super interesting. Ill be interested to see it in the field
Good luck hitting a suspect even once at 45 feet let alone two or three times.
Agreed. However, 10 shots per cart is hella good up from 1 shot per cart and reload.
Now, it's 10 shots... and 10 shots better than old tasers. I'd rather the police use 10 shots of tasers than a gun and shooting someone who may legally been able to... but didn't have to practially.
It's like OC spray. I'd rather use OC spray, subdue someone, save my life and theirs than shooting someone dead because I have no alternative.
They need to put red dot sights on these laser aiming from 45 feet isn't ideal
Needs to be a very bright, very obvious laser that IS NOT the common color for gun mounted lasers and have a SUPER bright light to see everything.
When we have the ability to save lives, why not?
No matter what..we will always need a firearm.
You know what could cut police shooting? Hold crimals accountable for their crimes.
Yea what if the criminals have guns and police use a TAZER on them no I’m using a gun over a stupid TAZER
How about we COMPLY!!! Put your hands up and give up. If it goes bad, it’s the suspect that dictates that action, not the police.
How about you being less of a bootlicker?
I wonder if a gun like the Dominator from _Psycho-Pass_ anime might be developed... a single shot paralyzer/ taser which could change to lethal action if need to... that would cut lots of equipment needed...
tho I don't think we need the cymatic scan / psycho-pass from the show...
Could definitely be good option for officers if a suspect pulls a knife on them, but if they start running at you and they are close by, not a chance they go to a taser as opposed to a firearm. And ofc if the suspect pulls a gun taser ain't gonna be used
Having tasers to disable someone who MAY have a gun, or has a weapon or open hands and refuses to comply... it's 100% better to have 1 lethal cover, and 1 LTL cover.
LTL should never be used if there isn't lethal cover OR if lethal just isn't there... which would be security, or other non-law enforcement encounters. As private-security I think this would be effective in the enviorment im expected to guard. Additionally, having 5 guards respond, 10 shots each per taser, that's alot of chances one of us can make contact, stop a threat, without going lethal or requiring PD/LEOs to be on site and use guns.
It's better than what we got, it's better than nothing and it's a step forward... People don't fight taser armed officers or guards as much, compared to non-taser officers/guards if they're in their right mind and kinda know whats up. They see it. They hear it. Now, drugs? mental illness? usually doesn't care. that's where EFFECTIVENESS comes into play, if the taser is not EFFECTIVE we got issues then.
So, it's all situational.
Very good explenation of such a hot topic. The taser looks promising
the most surprising thing in this video is that there is a Tazercon
uouuuuuuuu que vídeo fantástico, sou brasileiro, mas adorei o conteúdo, já estou seguindo
2 shots instead of 1? How affect is if some is right next to you or running towards you
It has 10 individual shots.
@@stealingfire5036 You have to land 2 shots to make it taze. If I understand the technology correctly.
@@MortyMortyMorty You had to do that with the older models too. But with the old ones, both probes would shoot together, with an arc between them, and you had to perfectly line them both up at the same time, on a moving target. If you miss one of them, it doesn't do anything. If you're too close or too far, the probes will land too close or too apart to shock effectively. You had no control over the arc of the probes, besides managing your distance from the target.
So now with the new tasers, you have 10 individual shots that fly in a straight line - 1 fired at time. So you don't need a perfect distance, and you can aim each probe exactly where you want them. And with 10 shots, you could probably taze more than one subject with the same tazer, rather than resorting to lethal.
@@stealingfire5036 Thanks, that's great info! I tried to educate you, but turns out you are the expert :D
@@MortyMortyMorty 😏👌
It STARTS from home! Wow! What a concept! But I never had a father! Fair enough! You will live with that bagage for the rest of your life and we're back to square one!
I like the concept but it should be able to shoot two probes at the same time. The extra couple seconds to shoot the second probe could be life or death
Awesome!!!
they shold lose there lives . i have i solution but dont want to give .
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a very smart idea. But what about drive stunning. There are plenty of encounters where you’re too close to shoot the cartridge and forcing you to drive stun
this is where the CQ cartridge comes in on the taser 7. That being said, the taser 10 solves this completely as you can shoot it from basically 0 to 45 feet.
@@heyaisdabomb Yep. Also drive "stun" doesn't actually stun, it has no effect on the muscles, it just induces pain. Might as well use a baton.
Gee, thanks for the Copaganda advertisement! How useful.
This is a good advertisement, obviously it's PR bullshit like every advertisement, but it's well made.
and then its used in a place like new york or chicago and the police get sued.
NYC has a budget just for victims of police brutality. Last I checked, it was 750 million dollars.

Would these be available for civilian purchase?
TASER 10 is not available for civilians to purchase at this time.
No. As per axon SOP? They're gonna hold out on us.
What's the voltage rating and what's the average max voltage deployed when these are used ?
From Axon: The number of electrons delivered (charge and current) is a more meaningful safety measurement than voltage, and the amount of current delivered by all TASER energy weapons is extremely low, about 1/100th of a Christmas tree light bulb. That being said, TASER 10 is low voltage, with a maximum output of about 1,000 volts (compared to Van de Graff generators found in many science museums that discharge up to 20,000 volts with no injury).
The taser should shoot all 10 at once in a design to spread out and the wires be interwebbed with each other like a spider web. It's so obvious but they just don't get it
You will always need lethal criminals are not going to use less than lethal 😂😂😂😂
I'm more concerned about violent gang members arming the community than the Popo
Will criminal have taser as well?
Unless you are from a police department or recognized security company or agency then no, law enforcement or paramilitary grade less-than-lethal weapons are not sold nor allowed to be sold to the public.

@@DarkZerol I was being sarcastic!! ! What I meant was, what's the point of law enforcement only having a taser when streets criminals will have lethal weapons? It's a suicide mission.
@@forence29 That's like saying why bother with flashbangs or gas grenades when you can use frag or incendiary grenades. Law enforcement agencies are a live saving organizations not a life taking one, they are not suppose to take anyone's life unless is at the last resort.
@allanlaw5914 I would agree with that statement back in the 80s!!! Today (2024) EVERYONE has a firearm/rifle/shotgun, a taser is NO match against such weapons. Unless your intention is to see and read how lamentablemente are being executed at a higher rate than now!!!
I appreciate and applaud the campaign…. However as with the old military adage goes “the enemy gets a vote”. What I mean by this is that we could do everything in our powers to create a non lethal capability…. Analyze data forever…. And train every police officer in the united states to the decision making and operations level of a Tier one operator…. But there will still be criminals in the US that can and will only be stopped from committing their criminal acts by ceasing their existence. While a goal of zero deaths is an amazing goal and is extremely laudable….. The enemy gets a vote as to how the situation ends….
The Axon campaign goal is to reduce deaths by 50%. 0 fatalities in a country with more guns owned than people is wishful thinking.
Would tasers reduce the number f officers being shot and killed by criminals?
What a disgusting ad for tasers.
Yeah, sales ad, oh no poor officers who had to kill, well yes, but also they killed people... I have more sympathy for the dead.
Easily outraged you are
Making people aware of better technologies is the good that comes from this.
A lot of badgecams show that a taser was used, but didn't work, so they end up shooting them anyway. Better tasers means less lethal force used.
@@SomeKidFromBritain the heart-stopping part of the original taser doesn't change here. It's sold as non-lethal but it is indeed lethal in many cases.
Taser X would've been a better name
The Bola Wrap is a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges a Kevlar tether, eight feet in length, that is designed to entangle a subject at a range of 10-25 feet. This allows officers to temporarily restrain a subject at a safe distance and can potentially reduce a subject’s ability to struggle, minimizing the possibility of needing to use higher levels of force. The device allows for a less injurious level of force in certain situations, compared to electronic control devices like the Tasers.
Bola wrap is garbage
Bola wrap doesn’t work. So shut up.
Yea , that’s why our Dept ( second largest ) said No
It is too bad the Taser 10 is classified as a firearm by the ATF.
Why is that a problem
@@thibaultmol I would think because a police use of force policy puts firearms on top as lethal force, so the Taser 10 could inadvertently be classified as lethal force.
Also if you are a civilian, you can’t obtain it in states like California, New York, New Jersey, etc because it technically falls as an assault weapon under their laws.
@@David-fp7yc It is NOT classified as a firearm by the ATF. This rumor has been disproven many times already.
Only in America... Making more andvace gun apparently more cheaper then actually fixing their society 😮
Police nation!_! Coming to you by 2040 ☺💆☕
Should be sold for self defense. ( Also)
HOW MUCH MONEY IS
AHHH, We just need to buy NEW, BETTER Guns
Sweet im for it and that clown nose red ball thing for pistol
Even in their training they shoot people in the back
Most of those people look fairly unfit 😥
That girl's fivehead, though.
Good to see this initiative! Cmon America! 💪
Cool, might do a bit, but also, how bout people stop resisting arrest and escalating situations between them and someone with a gun?
that's too simplistic. the reason that the police are so scared someone might have a gun, is because there more guns than people in the US
Crime is always going to exist unfortunately. If we can lessen the amount of tragedy that comes from crime, I think that’s a win for everyone.
@Natdl More training instead of defunding how about?
@@puddincakes1005 Out of interest how often do they have to pass a shooting test and have the lessons on rules of engagement/law of armed conflict whatever they call it? In the UK it is every 3 months. Also bear in mind that it is a 12 week course to become qualified in the first place to become an Authorised Firearms Officer with a really high failure rate, and the course focuses heavily on the avoidance of firing the weapon.
@@kaneworsnop1007 Exactly, I have no idea, but they can learn so much more besides just an arms class too. Like de-escalation techniques and actually learn how to deal with others who have mental health conditions, hearing loss, are on drugs etc. They learn a bit of that stuff, but not really, they are also usually short staffed, and don’t have great pay for putting themselves in the dangerous positions they do.
Maybe increase the minimum IQ requirement for police, vs trying to “fix” the problem of giving lethal weapons to reactive idiots.
People with higher IQs have a lot better paying, less dangerous and less hated employment options than the police.
I have an idea, stop being criminal
Look at Byrna non lethal
a lot cheaper! co2 projectile gun!
50% on 10 years sounds very disappointing, maybe 90% on 5 years sounds doable, if the intention is there it can be done :\
That is still thousands of people.
Yes, it's a small step but it's a step.
One small step is better than none
This is America
they shold lose there lives . i have i solution but dont want to give .
90% in 5 years would be wonderful! Currently they've been increasing for the last 5 years, as it gets into around 1:57, even amidst prominent campaigns for reduction. So 50% fewer would still be a sea change, but of course the more lives saved and sooner the better.
Some of the dumbest perspectives here. Making all guns illegal will not stop gun deaths. 50% in 10 years is not realistic. Police gun related deaths (as the graph shows) is 1050 to 1175 over the last 5 years. I'm for this product by the way, unfortunatly many departments cannot afford even the current generation Axon tasers for all their officers. More money or moving the budget around will be required to reach the 50% threshhold.
“Death guns” hahahaha
So are we going to talk about the use of Tasers as ‘enforcement’ rather than just a ‘non-lethal alternative to a gun’?
How often do we see officers say “do as you’re told, or you’ll get tased again” - hardly something you’d do with a gun…
they shold lose there lives . i have i solution but dont want to give .
So you want to go around murdering people based off youtube comments? "Stable genius" here. @@dawdaw-bs8kc
Tazers kill too
How about you be straight with the public and explain the reason office involved shootings are up because the public’s attitude toward police, the lack of proper parenting or any parenting in this country, and weak prosecution against criminals. You suggesting bringing a taser to a deadly force situation is laughable. Especially when an officer has to place two high stressed shots into a target area to be effective. Most officers have a less than 30% accuracy with shot placement, nothing like increasing the difficulty at two to three times the price.
Can you put a pepper gel add on to the Taser?
It's insane how these people talk about "there should be an alternative to using the firearm". Why the f*** is shooting your default mode? Using your firearm - IS the alternative, the final solution when everything else failed. It should not be your first instinct. "I shot someone with a phone in their hands because I thought it May be a gun" is insanity!
No it’s not
Adrenaline makes you see and hear things, it's crazy how a hot situation where you don't know if they're armed or not or if they're going to flip out can make you react, even police on the force for years and years can get spooked and make a mistake.
Curious how police in every other country make this mistake much less often.
@sp1r1t2001 except per capita the US isn't even in the top 30. So please explain.
Technically correct is best kind of correct, yes? :)
Yes, it's not "in top 30", it's on the 33rd. Slightly worse than Bangladesh and Pakistan, with most countries above US having active ongoing civil war, insurrection, gang wars or all of the above. And those that aren't are small countries with miniscule number of people (e.g. Saint Lucia where single incident - ONE killed person - gives higher "per capita" percent than US)
Why are the united states not seeing why other countries don't have this problem?
2nd amendment😊
Other countries DO have this problem, but our politicians and legacy media continue to hype it up and divide us by spreading that narrative. Per capita the US isn't even in the top 30 countries of police involved killings.
5:43 the're training on shooting the black guy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And you call yourself Free think !
That won't help it doesn't look intimidating enough actually I'd be willing to commit a crime if that's there only weapon. All I need is even more thicker clothing or rubber. This would be better for civilian use. You could make so much money if you sell this to civilians and get them to pay for a training course.
I think in most cases it will not be tu only tool available to the officer but the first line of defence.
Interestingly, where I am from police often shoot armed and unarmed criminals in the legs and apprehend them, how come this is rare in the US I always see people shot 20+ times
As for the intimidation factor, they could make the tazer guns look like traditional guns
As for the clothing problem, I'd think that it's an area that requires more research, but I am sure there is a way to get around it
A tranq dart with navacain instead would be the ideal thing for police
On such thing as Non -lethal , somebody somewhere always finds a way. If we as a people can not correct our perceptions of each other.....think about that first
Less lethal weapons are nice, but what really needs to happen is to rebuild trust between the public and the police. The more ppl distrust the police the more they're going to fight them...
Also affordable mental healthcare. A lot of unnecessary deaths happen when a member of society is going through a seriously rough patch, and they need a safe place with trained (mental) health professionals. When a taser/gun is necessary to subdue a "confused person", it's often because someone couldn't find the treatment they needed in the weeks leading up to that moment.
These are both great points, and there's a lot of people doing great work in this space too. We've been fortunate enough to meet some of them. Cops who are living in the most dangerous neighborhoods in their area to build trust; barbers brokering conversations between police and communities they serve. There's also, as mentioned in the video, a lot of people who lose their lives to police while experiencing mental health crises. There's been rising interest in having trained social workers dispatched instead of police for these cases, and we've visited some of those programs too. But it's certainly true that the lack of universal access to affordable, long term to mental health treatment is a big problem that still needs to be addressed.

Agreed, but there will always be crime, and situations where a Gun can always be used- but a LTL taser is better if able.
Why FORCE the use of a gun, when no lethal threat is posed, when a LTL option can be used and save a life? Even if it hapens 1/900 times, that 1 time to save someone without a pointless death is WORTH the training and option.
Are you going to have Swap meet so all the crooks and criminals can Swap out their weapons for brand NEW non lethal ones ?
You'd rather see more deaths than a solution, and you're just angry someone is trying to be better.
Absolute trash human being.
Anything is better than pulling a gun unless absolutely necessary.
Think of the savings for taxpayers for peoples hospital injuries, surgeries, recoveries...lifelong help with disability and dysfunction... you'll be the one who ends up paying for it..with every other taxpayer.
You need to think more broadly about everything.
Technology will eventually make guns look archaic and medieval.
it's good that they acknowledge that only tech isn't going to solve it. there are too many guns in the US and that scares the police into using theirs. they should look at what is different in other countries. my gut feeling is that this will change nothing, but at least they are trying something
No such thing as to many guns as long as they're in the hands of law abiding citizens.
@@toddturnbaugh4451 i don't hear any solutions from you. it's simpler to take away guns, than guarantee that citizens abide by the law
It's pretty obvious what is different in other countries, stricter gun laws. In the UK this hasn't made it difficult to buy a black market gun, but it does mean there's barely any black market ammunition, meaning ammunition is so expensive that most criminals with illegal guns don't actually have any rounds in the magazine, or only have a few which are only used if they're dead if they don't because they cost so much.
@@toddturnbaugh4451 46% of the worlds civilian owned fire arms isn't too much?
A armed population, who has FROM BIRTH been told their guns are rights to them and IF someone like you says they will take their guns-- will USE those guns on you and anyone else... you're asking to be shot and labled a fascist and killed by a angry mob.
You really are asking for a lynch mob. You escalate a situation. You make threats. You would be a terrible cop. @@xybersurfer
I think u guys are great because i agree with the heart felt all life is precious to God
Wait. Which god?

they shold lose there lives . i have i solution but dont want to give .
Can`t you just figure out some pellet gun or gumball gun that hurts like a mf, but won`t penetrate deep enough to kill? I`d rather have broken jaw, ribs, lose eye or couple of teeth than died...
Less than lethal options are available. But they call them "less than lethal" for a reason. They can still maim and kill, and a fucking BB gun isn't going to stop someone.
This mother and daughter emptied their 9mm and .380 pistols into this guy and he still kept coming, took the empty gun from the women and tried to beat her with it as the daughter was putting yet more rounds into his torso. He then left and hobbled several blocks to the hospital where he survived. This is why people shoot to kill. Why officers shoot to kill.

Wait until it hits you in the eye
They already have those. And they don't work. Just makes them more angry.
Bean bag gun
End qualified immunity for all public offices. Specifically the police .
A moonshot? Just stop protecting them from the consequences of their actions.
That will just make them too afraid of getting into anything to respond to calls so they'll just sit around eating donuts.
And let them get sued for doing their job correctly? Best way to make sure they just sit in an office watching youtube.
So then you have to pay officers 40x as much OR take even lower-quality canidates with less education, training, and abilities.
"End Qualified immunity, and hire even less educated people to carry guns!" is what you said. Do you really want dumber people with more guns?
@@aandyherr817We already have dumber people with more guns. I saw one state where the top 5 highest paid public employees were cops. Most were officers.
I like how the reaction to making police accountable is Oh noes, they won't do their job or they'll be even dumber. You guys have a low bar.
How about you talk first. You talk second. You talk third. Before you even consider of using force. Not gun. Any force.
We need to change minds and behaviours not by force. But by talking.
For days.
For weeks.
For months.
For years.
Since early age.
Violence creates retribution.
Tazers are actually quite bad and still deadly, definitely better than a gun, but if someone has heart problems it might be just as deadly
This is a public disobedience issue. Rarely ever a police issue. Blame the aggressors, not the defenders. There are a few communities that have inherent links to crime. Education and escalation are vital.
Rarely ever? Remember that cop who shot the kid in the McDonald’s parking lot because the vehicle matched a criminals but the plates didn’t?
@@ultm8ninja exactly. Rare.
There are times when compliance is an issue, but as the police officers in the video themselves note there are many cases where mental health issues are involved, there are cases as mentioned where clear mistakes are made, and others where it is not as simple as good guys and bad guys. There also is still not great data on the contributing factors to these incidents to understand the full picture, which is why more comprehensive research is a big part of the campaign.
@@ultm8ninja Exactly. Rare. That is ONE case out of hundreds of MILLIONS.
so they are taking guns away from cops... probably a good thing. they should give them "permanently on" body cameras too.
The biggest problem is how police escalate violence or arrests for no real reason. A cop will escalate a jay walking to the point where they arrest, kill or cripple the jay walker. We need a bill of rights and a real national rules of engagement between cops and people.
Tell me an incident where this happened?
@@Shadowguard331 google it, you will find examples when the cops demand ID then attack the person.
@@timbeatty11 That isnt the police escalating. Thats them doing their job, and the person refusing to follow legal commands. The police arent just going to back off because you say "No".
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 wrong
@@timbeatty11 Nope. Correct. They escalate as the suspect escalates.
train people who aren't completely incompetent and just garbage people, aka most police
Yeah, mental competency tests should be required
Those people have better options than working a hated and dangerous job.
You'd be weeded out the first time... so, there's that.
@@aandyherr817 hell yeah brother, love weed!
why they interview BLM woke?
I thought they had to stop selling tasers because they were so deadly
This is about america. There is a Tasercon, because tasers are less deadly that what everybody allready has
