Thirty tasers for the safety of 11 cities, we start. The decree that launches the trial of the electric gun that will be provided to the police force has arrived, as announced in recent weeks by the Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and the head of the Polizia Franco Gabrielli, after the case Jefferson Tomalà, the venntenne originally from Ecuador killed in Genoa by the police during a fire. The experiment will be entrusted to the police, the carabinieri and the guard of the finances; 11 cities to start (Milan, Naples, Turin, Bologna, Florence, Palermo, Catania, Padua, Caserta, Reggio Emilia and Brindisi) and 30 devices to buy, for the moment. The experimental phase will follow a discipline that a specific interforce group is developing and on the basis of which will be trained the men and women of the forces involved in the first phase of use. . In recent days, the Taser has also appeared in the Vatican. U n selected group of members of the Gendameria, next to the gun, was equipped with electric weapons, able to immobilize the subjects by a high-voltage discharge. But there are many risks and perplexities.

· Salvini: "Important means of deterrence" "The Taser gun is a non-lethal deterrent weapon – said Interior Minister Matteo Salvini who in the days had anticipated the novelty – and its use is an important deterrent, especially for security operators who patrol the streets and may be in borderline situations, where a deterrent may be more effective and especially reduce the risks to the personal safety of the agents, that the electric gun is a valid support, as evidenced by the experience of many advanced countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland ". In addition to the United States, the Taser is provided to police forces from about 107 countries, including Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya and Europe in addition to the United States. Finland, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Greece and United Kingdom. 19659005] in reproduction ….
· Risks of the weapon: from injury to death Almost to meet the insistent demand to also equip the prison police of the advanced electric gun by the Sappe union, however, the guarantor of the detainees of his king the annual law has already pointed out that the taser is "an instrument that requires much more caution than its definition of no -létalité ". "The benefit deriving from a lower use of lethal weapons – this is the warning of the Guarantor, who recalled that in any case it can not be allowed in contexts where the use of traditional weapons is not allowed – is counterbalanced by some significant negative elements: the potential risks of abuse, the suffering caused by the electrical discharge with which it is badociated, in addition to the loss of control of the muscular system, also acute pain, the subsequent physical consequences since the person struck by the Taser normally ruins the floor and then injuries to the head or to other parts of the body may result death, for example, death due to cardiac arrest or consequences, for example, on the health of the fetus in the case of pregnant women ".
" Precisely to limit the risks, according to what was revealed after the announcement by Gabrielli, the Taser option for Italian law enforcement agencies a model of 39; "custom" weapon, characterized by reduced amperage, with discharges shorter than five seconds of conventional models, and prepared to automatically stop without manual intervention, will be considered. In one way, to make the new tools even less harmful and reduce the risk of death, a real possibility has exposed the data by Amnesty International, which has clbadified the Taser as an instrument of torture and, in its annual reports, indicated them as the cause of the death of 500 people in the last five years. The model that the agents will use is produced by the American company Axon (formerly Taser International), which holds the patent, but will be applied to the measures provided by the Italian national health service. Lab tests began in 2014 after the safety decree, but field applications had not yet started in practice. "You can not go directly from the baton to the 9-gauge pistol," said Enzo Marco Letizia, national secretary of the Police Association who comments on the arrival of the Taser. It is necessary to be progressive in the use of force. electrician covers this void If the policeman in Genoa had used a Taser gun instead of the pistol, the death of the boy who attacked it would have been avoided. "
· Indications on the use The guidelines issued from the Ministry of Public Security, they define the Taser gun" an appropriate weapon ", which uses electrical impulses to inhibit the movements of the affected subject The recommended distance for an effective shot is 3 to 7 meters The Taser "must be shown without being challenged to make the subject give up driving in place." If the attempt fails, the shot is fired, but " to consider as much as possible the context of the intervention and the risks badociated with the fall of the person after it has been drawn. "We must also take into account the" visible vulnerability "of the subject (eg a pregnant woman) and pay attention to the environment because of the risk of fire, explosion and electric shock.
