Taser Gun Stops a Criminal and Saves Another Man’s Life

When it comes down to it, a lot of people just aren’t smart. When will people learn that crime and violence just doesn’t pay? About the only thing that criminals get paid, if they’re lucky, is a shock from a Taser gun.

A man from Ohio named Michael Carver was recently arrested on charges of robbery, resisting arrest, and assaulting an officer of the law. This only happened after a car chase and Carver fleeing on foot.

When he left his car and started to run, a local police officer fired his Taser gun at Carver. It struck him and incapacitated him, enabling the officer to place him under arrest.

While Michael Carver was a blatant criminal, another man in Chicago wasn’t exactly a criminal. While his behavior was dangerous to himself and to others, he wasn’t technically a criminal. But nonetheless, a Taser was in order for use and it actually saved his life.

The Chicago man had been cutting himself with glass, apparently out of severe depression and mental stress. His behavior was both violent and erratic. When the police tried to calm him down, he continued to act in a violent way. The police wanted to help, but his behavior made it difficult for them to subdue his violence.

One of the officers pulled his Taser gun out and warned the man what he was about to do. The man didn’t change his behavior and he was stunned with the Taser gun. He was then taken to a hospital and checked into a mental health facility.

These stories are great examples of how Taser guns can stop criminals and save the lives of civilians. They are much better options to guns in many instances.
