Taser guns in Brisbane

Taser guns were introduced today at Dutton Park police station.

All on-duty officers at the Brisbane station will be equipped with the weapons during the three month trial.

The NSW Civil Liberties Union's vice-president, David Bernie has told QUT’s Nick Underhill about the concerns surrounding the increased usage of Tasers.

However Dutton Park’s Senior Sergeant Greg Bishop says his officers have been given the appropriate weapons training.

Will the trial be successful? Will the Queensland police force be as lethal with the weapons as law enforcement agencies in the US?

Hopefully not…
