How using rubber bullets has changed the way policing is today?

Answer 1

To some degree, but at least in Canada "Taser" is what is in. There is controversy over the Taser because of a small percentage of deaths (in most cases the victim was on drugs at the time.) I agree with rubber bullets and Taser. We can hardly expect our police officers to put their lives on the line every day without some form of defence. If I had my way both would be used along with dogs being set loose. Crime has rapidly gone up in the U.S. and Canada. While some police officers feel the power of having criminals in their power (with I can do anything I want attitude) the majority of police officers are doing their job and so using rubber bullets or the Taser gun is better than having to kill someone with a regular gun. The public never seems to realize that for police officers who have killed someone they feel very depressed and at odds with themselves. That's why they have police psychiatrists.
