I have absolutely no doubt that air marshalls in Miami acted completely appropriately, professionally and correctly in yesterday's fatal shooting of the threatening but mentally ill passenger. In all that I saw and read, they had no other choice and took the only action available to them to keep people and the skies safe.
But I still have one question: Wouldn't tasers be just as efficient in such a confined space, without the subsequent loss of life?
The mentally ill should not have to die simply because they are mentally ill.
And so it goes.

Are you kidding Tasers those are not usable didnt you watch the champaign council meeting. You might hurt someone with those things and we all know that is worse than get shot dead or beat with a stick.
the ACLU would object to tasers. Guns have much more finality.
They didn't have time to determine if the threat was real or not, thus tasers would not be the answer.
