but they are contributing to more people becoming accepting of police brutality. From the very beginning, when these first started showing up on the force, I was afraid this would happen. People argued with me, saying they were an alternative to clubs and guns, and so it was a good thing. But, that was my point. Because they will be seen as less aggressive and less damaging as a gun or a club, the will be more freely used, and our police force will become a more aggressive police force. I felt minorities would particularly be vulnerable. I wish more people had listened to that point of view in the beginning, because now that Tasers are so prevalent, and now that some people are so inexplicably accepting of this, I'm afraid there will be no looking back. Welcome to a more aggressive police force, everyone.

Oh everything comes in its own special size
I guess it can be measured by where you put your eyes
It looks big when you're close
And it looks smaller back a bit
That's about the size of it.

Oh the big becomes the little
When you see it back a bit
The huge becomes the dinky
Which is just the opposite
Of the larger that gets smaller
It never seems to fit
That's about the size of it.

That's about the size
It's where you put your eyes
That's about the size of it.
