Grammatically, either is correct, and both are used. Ethically/morally, I think there's a problem here...

Maybe it's not a common word in the UK. Let me ask you this, what do you call the device carried by police officers that deliver electric shock to the victim and temporarily paralyzes the person.

They're examples of verbification, from the noun (acronym, actually) TASER.
