You people realize that apart of taser 'training' and use, one has to go through actually getting tasered themselves, right? So the one doing the tasering knows exactly what the tasee is going through.
Morality has nothing to do with using a taser.

No, actually, I didn't know that.
Of course there are some people who like getting a certain kind of pain I wouldn't want to give a pain-giving device to.
If use of an object that can cause pain has no moral content, what the fuck does have moral content?
You are still confusing (a) statements about how an act can be immoral with (b) whether a particular example of that act is immoral.
Use of a pain- or harm-giving device irresponsibly is immoral. And the amount or kind of training they may have had doesn't make it any less so. Indeed, one might argue (though I'm not doing so) that those with such training have a higher obligation of responsibilty than those who don't.
I don't object to the use of tasers as an absolute principle. I object to immoral use of any object that can do harm or cause pain.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
