Citizens in Charge

One great thing about citizens being able to initiate their own proposed laws is the variety of topics that people take to the ballot box. On that note, an initiative circulating petitions in Columbia, MO is the first ever proposed to ban police use of Tasers. Supporters of the petition announced to chants of “We won’t be fooled again. Tasers have to go” that they will try to place the measure on the city’s November 2nd ballot.
