Deadly Pins
Are American police allowed to use a taser on someone pinned to the ground?
I just wanted clarification. Someone told me that they can use a taser if someone is resisting arrest despite being held on the ground by 4 or 5 officers. That just does not seem like appropriate use of deadly force to me.
The families of 80 people that are killed by tasers every year in the USA might call them deadly force even if the police department does not...

Since a taser is not considered deadly force, yes they are. Pinning a suspect and subduing him are two different things. Using a taser is far better than continuing a fight where more injury is likely.
