Taser guns [to use] on children

Remember when the British police proudly refused to carry guns and were called Bobbies?

Those days are long gone.

[British] Police have been given the go-ahead to use Taser stun guns against children.

The relaxing of restrictions on the use of the weapons comes despite warnings that they could trigger a heart attack in youngsters.

Until now, Tasers - which emit a 50,000-volt electric shock - have been used only by specialist officers as a "non lethal" alternative to firearms.

Britain has become quite the police state. What happened?
