Taser guns are designed to allow police officers to subdue violent individuals without killing them. A police officer can "take down" a threatening suspect without worrying that a stray bullet might kill or injure an innocent bystander. Police officers describe the Taser gun as a safe alternative to brute force when detaining a violent suspect. Taser guns can also be used as cattle prods, but the effect is more isolated and less painful.
