Are cops going to taser a pedestrian after a hit and run to prevent that person from getting up off the ground, "for their own good"? A person who has been traumatized may not be in a state to carry out police instructions, and unless they are an obvious threat, should be left to alone if they cannot be helped.

If the idea that everyone at the scene of a disturbance is potentially dangerous is so strong, why not send more cops along so that some can watch potential victims without needing to subdue them before going on to find the perpetrators?
