I have some further comments, but I am posting separately because I don't want to confuse Zippy.
(OK, I am a post whore.)
Was Rodney King tased? It's been ages since I've seen the video, can anyone remember?
Do tasers work on bears? Or would their thick coats prevent the needles from entering their bodies? Is the voltage enough? Does anyone have the guts to actually test this in the wild?
Are US park rangers responsible for campground crowd control as Zippy describes? I reckon that should not be their responsibility. It is a police issue, surely. Someone dealing with groups of angry drunks needs proper training in negotiation, unarmed combat, and weapons use (both decision making and skills). And they deserve to be paid appropriately for all of these skills and for the nature of the work. They need appropriate weapons and backup. Do we have any regular US campers who can tell me if your friendly park rangers come anywhere near this?
