What's wrong with "taserized" or "tasered"? The wording of tased sound like a soft punch. We ought to see taser as a tool of fascism which it is really about. The law enforcement officers nowaday seem have low ebbs of patience and human empathy. Just taser the person and get over with it! I wonder if that is legal for civilians to own the Taser guns for their own protections. RLM Bobby Cox,

I feel that cop doesn't have a enough training about deaf person to deal with situation. They really need to training about deaf person, That's depend on what? It seem likely more deaf victims caught in wrong time and wrong place. Dianrez,
