In placing Proposition 2 on the Tuesday, Nov. 2 ballot, City Council and the mayor have entrusted a crucial decision regarding public safety to the voters of Columbia.  This proposition would make it unlawful to use or threaten to use Tasers and all other Conducted Electrical Devices (CEDs) within the city limits.  This ban does not affect ownership of CEDs. And it applies not just to law enforcement, but to everyone.
