Have you ever been tasered?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46828points) December 12th, 2014

There is a fuss about the police tasering an 8 year old girl who was threatening suicide. She had a knife that she was pressing to her chest. I don’t know much about tasering, but I know there are different settings. What would be the effect of the lowest setting?
People are saying that she could have been easily physically subdued, but maybe a light shock was the least forceful way to get her to comply?
