Don't Tase Me, Smokey!

The Baron doesn't seem to recall any mention of this in the text of the Healthy Forests Initiative:

The US Forest Service has bought $600,000 worth of "Electronic Control Devices" without any training program, rules for use or even a written explanation as to why the devices are needed . . . The devices, known as Tasers, are sitting in storage and cannot be issued because the agency has yet to develop a training course.

Hmmm. Par for the course given the current gang in Washington, wouldn't you say?

On the other hand, it looks like National Park Service already has tasers, and it would seem there hasn't been, uh, a rigorous training program implemented there, either:

No good deed goes unpunished.

At least that's how Muir Beach resident Sigward Moser felt after he says he was threatened with a taser gun, forced to the ground and handcuffed by a National Park Service ranger for refusing to stop cleaning up the oily beach beneath his home. (Emphasis added.)
