Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly displayed a Taser stun gun on Monday. He said that by Wednesday, roughly 520 new Tasers would be available to about 3,500 sergeants on patrol.

As you know there has been so many shootings in NY and around the United States, but NYPD (New York Police Department) has implemented new system to take people down instead of the guns.

I really do like this way because you will cut down on the lives being taken… especially the black lives.

The Sean Bell was the last straw and it seems as if NYPD has got a contingency plan for it all .

But he said that by Wednesday, roughly 520 new Tasers — which are not a substitute for a handgun — would be available to about 3,500 sergeants on patrol, a shift from having them kept in certain patrol vehicles and in the hands of officers in the elite Emergency Service Unit.
“This was a study that’s focused on what we can do,” Mr. Kelly said. “It was not a panacea; it wasn’t going to solve all issues as far as shootings are concerned.”
