Ammunition manufacturer Winchester will have to scale back its Australian supply if all police departments start using long range lasers.
Their supply of .40 cal Glock ammo to police should slowly dry up after these new, deadly Tasers are deployed.
Maybe there will be fewer unlucky citizens shot with firearms by the inaccurate shooters of general police.
Queensland Labor is funding the rollout of world leading taser technology to front line officers in the Queensland Police Service.
It will mean Queensland will become the largest police jurisdiction in the world to be equipped with this technology.
Queensland Labor is providing the QPS with funding of $8.5 million over three years to purchase 1,000 Taser 10 devices.
This commitment also ensures that all tasers retired from service moving forward will be replaced with the Taser 10 technology.
The Taser 10 deliver a significant increase (more than double the existing capability) in its functional distance out to a range of 13.5 meters.
The Taser is also far more accurate than existing technologies used by Queensland Police and also does not need to be reloaded to fire multiple shots.
This greatly reduces the need for police to escalate to a lethal use of force option.
In instances where persons of interest are outside the limited range of the current taser fleet, Police will typically and necessarily present firearms to de-escalate or resolve the incident.
The Taser 10 extends the use of taser out to a far greater range, which will lessen the need for presentation, and critically use, of lethal force in a wide number of incident types.
Police advise the Taser 10 will save lives, reduce trauma for attending police and reduce trauma for involved persons families.
Prolonged and multiple discharges
ALMOST half of the people tasered by Queensland police are subjected to “prolonged or multiple” discharges, prompting calls for greater scrutiny of how the devices are used.
The debate comes as the Brisbane Coroners Court is set to release its findings over the death of a north Queensland man after he was allegedly tasered 28 times.
Queensland police use Tasers more than 30 times a month, according to the Crime and Misconduct Commission, but the police union says the devices save lives and are integral to law enforcement.
“Our latest recommendation seeks to improve Queensland Police Service policy and training in this area,” CMC research and evaluation director Rebecca Denning told the Australian Public Sector Anti-Corruption Conference last week.
“The CMC is also very keen to see QPS make further improvements to Taser monitoring and review processes.
“Unfortunately the existing processes tend to rely almost exclusively on the reporting officer’s version of events.”
Ms Denning said information should also be sought from other police who attended the scene where a Taser was used, civilian witnesses and CCTV footage if available.
The use of Tasers was widely debated at the conference attended by senior police, government and anti-corruption agencies held in Fremantle.
It was agreed they were here to stay, but better policy and guidelines for use were necessary.
“It remains that 40 per cent of all subjects who had a Taser deployed against them were the subject of either a multiple or a prolonged discharge,” Ms Denning said.
“International research suggests that multiple or prolonged deployments may increase the risk of a subject suffering an injury or adverse health consequences.
“Approximately 4 per cent of subjects of Taser deployment was suspected of having a physical health condition, 17 per cent was suspected of having a mental health condition and just under 80 per cent was suspected of being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.”
Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers said Tasers had saved “many lives” in Queensland.
“There seems to be a misconception in the community that police like to inflict pain – that is not the case,” he said. “Use of force is a last resort.”
QPS policy stipulates that Tasers should only be used when a person poses either a risk of serious injury to police, another person or themselves. -News Ltd
On Saturday night May 4th 2024 WA police shot dead a 16 year old boy in a Bunnings car park. The premier, the police minister and the police commissioner gathered early on Sunday morning to explain that this boy had been radicalised and that was the problem.
I have not been able to find a definition of their word “radicalised”. What was mentioned was that two police force officers had already deployed tasers each but because the boy was wearing baggy clothing they were allegedly ineffective. Therefore the third police force officer who had drawn a gun rather than a laser had to shoot him dead.
This I believe is to reinforce why these new and far more dangerous lasers are now needed everywhere.
Bunnings ffs!

The taser is an electroshock gun that fires barbed electrodes.
” A shot releases two probes, and those probes must either both make contact with their target, or one must strike the target and the other the ground, to complete the electrical circuit. The electrodes are attached by long, thin wires to a waveform generator that sends muscle-locking electric pulses into the target”
An electric shock if it hits a person at the wrong part of their own electrical cycle (QRST) can send them into a dangerous arrhythmia.
A ventricular tachycardia. (VT)
At a time when energy weapons are all the range I don’t see why the old taser needed to be replaced.
It’s a bit like the vaccines where they make claims that they never do harm.
Yet they do.
The issue is about policing and certain police ‘thugs’ with guns in their hands, not about the need for an upgrade on an electroshock weapon.
There are so many problems with the political and justice systems that they should all be tasering each other before they even think about going out in public
Dennis. Are you over stating this Common Law thing?
Common Law has been developed by Judges based largely in precedent.
Common Law is right through our legal system now.
Everyone has the Constitutional right to defend themselves, so this fraud government corporation and it’s police corporation, business for profit, has no lawful authority from anywhere to attack us with any technology for any reason, let alone putting us at risk of death at their sickening behest.
Their pretense of being government will not stand up in a Common Law Court as they will see in the very near future, and they will be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
This has been to long coming to save those who had been prescribed opioid medications by the medical profession for pain or the mongrel shrinks in mental health who knew the opioid anti depressant is very dangerous and can cause people to fear others and arming themselves to protect themselves that later led to their death by Cops with a lead bullet in their chest .
Only Aussies and vaccinated too, so they don’t matter. Heads up though, get tasered by those Tasers and you probably won’t have the vaccines in your body anymore, like getting a 12 volt Zap from an electric fence, the taser should clear out your blood of all infections and the diseases delivered by the vaccines, so back to, prior to vaccines, for the most fortunate of you, those zapped amongst you.
The only possible problem might be the billions of Carbon particles injected at the same time as the vaccines – be a good idea to monitor those tasered and see if they get better and better, or if they die from some horrid chopped up nerves and inner organs like disease, like if the carbon particles after tasering, are turned to Graphene Hydroxide instead – Google: Dr Noack, who died back in 2019 from Graphene Hydroxide, for publishing that everyone injected with Covid vaccines, were also injected with a Military Bio Weapon as well and how that works.
Big brave treasonous cops who don’t have crown Authority to exist, they are in fact policy enforcers for the US registered trading Company that calls themselves the QLD Govt. All treason.
