re: #148 Rightwingconspirator

I’d like to point out when I said “I think the ACLU would..” I was offering my speculation/opinion not trying to claim that as a fact. It’s an opinion gained in part from the above quote from their spokesman in 1988 as well as other similar incidents.

I understand that it’s speculation, but objecting to a particular ammunition on the grounds of it being especially lethal does not in any logical way lead to the conclusion that they would like unarmed officers. And if you really look at their criticisms of tasers, it is the way that they are used, and not the tasers themselves, they are critical of. That’s typical of them; they tend not to focus on what something is, but how it is used.
