Amnesty International fears police using the weapons in the one-year trial may not be properly trained.

The Home Office says officers will undergo a rigorous selection procedure.
Until now, about 3,000 Tasers had been issued in Britain, but only to members of police firearms units.

Firearms officers could only use them when confronted by an armed attacker, but their powers were extended in July to include incidents of severe violence or threats.

So what do you UK folk think?

I believe they will be zapping people left right & center.

It was only two years ago i testified against 2 police offices who claim my father attacked them & abused them, one of the PC's involved (a woman) drew her baton but never managed to use it as it got stuck & wouldn't release lol but with a taser who knows. We won the case
