All front-line police in England and Wales should be offered Tasers in light of the increased terrorism threat, the head of the Police Federation says.
Steve White said the devices would help protect against "dangerous people" who could be preparing to attack officers.
"We've got to show our officers that we're taking the threat seriously," he told Radio 4's Today.
But Christopher Salmon, a Welsh police and crime commissioner, said the move would be a mistake.

Too many trigger happy / macho police as it is. they will use them for all sorts of reasons. even if somebody gives them a bit of lip. a drunk won't keep still. or somebody is being a bit hysterical.
they may even threaten to 'tazer' you if you're not answering their questions to their satisfaction.
so no. no tazers.
and stop using 'terrorism' as an excuse for everything. it's boring.
