The San Francisco Police Commission voted this week to study whether to approve the use of tasers by the San Francisco Police Department. Law enforcement officials argue they’re less lethal than guns, and an effective tool for police officers. But critics say they are dangerous and can be misused. We talk with law enforcement experts and officials about the pros and cons of taser use.

Guests:

Angela F. Chan, police commissioner for the San Francisco Police Commission

Jeff Godown, interim police chief for the San Francisco police department

Barbara Attard, police accountability consultant, Accountability Associates
