Confusion. Water vs 50,000 volts

Water boarding for 15 seconds, of some one who

is an avowed terrorist, willing to kill US civilians
is illegal and considered torture.

But hitting a crying civilian laying on the

ground with 50,000 volts with a tazer

for 15 seconds is OK and legal?

He refused to to sign the citation.

That constitutes a misdemeanor offense.

WTF

15 seconds of water = torture.

15 seconds of 50,000 volts = OK?

Given a choice I'd chose the water.

I'm not a lawyer I only play one on on TV,

But that ruling would seem to indicate

one could zap a terrorist if he wouldn't come out of his cell.

But not if he is standing in water?

Have I got that right?

Go figure.
