Last night’s Democratic CNN Debate started off more like a WWF Smackdown than a presidential debate.

DPS and EPD both have been looking into adding tasers to their respective force programs. I think I have found the perfect models for them. Check out these new tasers making crimson waves in the blogging world. I think even the female officers will enjoy carrying them.
