Cop's today taze first and ask questions later. I can link countless articles where cops have tazed the blind, pregnant women, elderly people, the mentally handicapped etc etc.

When it wasn't warranted? Please do link.
And then please compare these "countless" incidents with the number of times these things don't happen, and then when we have things in perspective we can decide who is being sensationalist and who is being realistic.

They've become extremly lazy and taze people who could easily be restrained all the time.

"All the time" is that sensationalist propoganda shit again.
Yeah, cops sometimes make the wrong choice. And since there are a lot of fucking cops who need to make a lot of fucking choices, the absolute number seems big.
How do you want to fix this? Do you want to pay more taxes so that cops have to go through a more intensive screening program so none of the "power hungry" sorts end up in uniform? Do you want to pay more taxes so that cops get more training?

You've been drinking the Kool-aid. Try blaming the politicians and media that have set the stage for our current "war on drugs" which is little more then an excuse to keep young black men incarcerated and keep white people afraid of minorities. And before you right wing assholes deny this fact just look at the sentencing guidlines for crack as compared to coke. It's obvious to anyone and everyone that alcohol prohibition was a massive failure and bad policy so why can't people see theres little or no difference with our currrent drug policy?

The war on drugs has some issues for sure. Big issues. But it isn't like prohibition any more a war on gang violence is like a war on Grand Theft Auto games.
Do you really think the country would be a better place to live, overall, if there was not a single law attempting to control the use of what are currently controlled substances?
