The lesser of two evils is still evil.

We don't need kinder weapons. We need a way to stop using weapons so much.

Thinly veiled advertisements for Axon (makers of Taser!) only exploit concerns and don't fix the real problems.

It’s simpler than that, just imagine living in a world where the people you mentioned aren’t given a badge, several weapons and virtual immunity against prosecution

Weapons are definitely not the best solution for mentally unstable people.

He said "stop using them so much", not "eliminate them completely".

But by his definition, this would be an evil thing to do.
