On February 21, 2014, San Antonio Express News released an editorial titled "No need for Tasers in schools." This editorial is supposed to raise awareness of how police officers should take alternative measures to protect students. In Bastrop county, high school student Noe Niño de Riveria was tased by officers after they tried to break up a fight between two girls, where Riveria tried to intervene. After being tased, he fell, hitting his head on the ground. Resulting from this incident, Riveria was in comatose for over 50 days and may have permanent brain damage.
The authors' main audience are students or people associated with the education system. Students are the ones that have to worry about their safety when news like this are reported. The main argument is whether tasers are supposed to be banned, because they don't come without hazards. The purpose of this non-lethal weapon is to immobilize an armed attacker. 50,000 volts is an excessive amount of force that I believe is unnecessary to use on an unarmed student. Different schools use alternatives such as pepper spray. 
Organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union asked the Texas Education Agency to ban non-lethal weapons all together.
I agree with the authors' argument because I think it's not necessary to take those measures. Even if the ban doesn't go through, the volts on tasers should definitely be lowered to a more reasonable amount. 50,000 volts seems appropriate in a life threatening situation, but not on a school campus.
