if the situation merits it - sure. a taser used when there is an obvious threat and a situation needs to be diffused NOW is ok in my books.

Who cares if there is a little bit of pain, if thats all you are worried about it should be a detertant to people disobeying officers. I bet that there are atleast as many injuries to people who are tackeled or "thrown on to a car" as there are from tasers. What percentage of arrests or agressive situations are resolved using tasers, guns, pepper spray, phyisical force, etc. I bet the numbers are high on the phyisical force side.
