Fiji's Opposition says police should never be armed with taser guns or any weapons designed to kill people.
Last week, the police commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho said the use of taser guns was being looked at following revelations there had been over 120 cases of officers being seriously assaulted this year.
But the president of the National Federation Party, Pio Tikoduadua, says he's surprised police were unable to defend themselves with the batons and pepper spray they currently carry.
He says while officers should not be used as "punching bags", police with taser guns will only "aggravate an already tense state of affairs".
