Stephen Coleman: The moral dangers of non-lethal weapons

http://www.ted.com/talks/stephen_coleman...apons.html

In short - nonlethal is convenient for pretty much all situations.

Above average caliber to the comments/discussion on that site.
Hope for humanity, or just heavily moderated?

OK, I'm most of the way through.

Reader comment:
6 hours ago: Mr Coleman's Taser incident in Oklahoma of an aged 86 bedridden female, of which he indicated was his "favorite" story, was exactly indicative of the rest of this presentation, empty. There is a tremendous amount of discussion that can be made for and against LTL (less than lethal) force sources, they MUST be taken on a case by case basis, and he fails to do so in the limited time allotted.

For instance, excerpted from the news reports and not mentioned my Mr. Coleman, "Police were forced to use a Taser on the woman so they could take the knife, Brown told the paper. He said she was taken to a local hospital, where she was evaluated."

Have you listened to how this guy presents this incident? Completely dishonest. Would be happy to entertain a similar assessment from a credible source, but he ain't it.
