Hands up if you think you can taser an elderly person and expect them to live.

Yeah, knives are so dangerous when wielded by a 95-yo who needs to hold on to her walker 🙄
There are well rehearsed moves to deal with this. One should never go in alone, or put oneself in a position that one can’t get out… and one can reasonably expect a taser to kill.
But you can’t fire a taser here and think that’ll be fine… surely.
It’s the same as firing a gun.
