Should've used real bullets. Probably save some innocent people later.

Ow. I hope he pleads not guilty so they have to show this video at the trial. Does a tazer do any permanent damage?

I'm surprised he was still able to move after the first one. The few times I've seen it used on such shows as COPS, it's usually being used to drop some elephant of a guy. They flop around and scream for a few seconds and then basically lay there.
Maybe the alcohol content in this gentleman's body was dulling the impact...

It's possible his senses were dulled enough that the pain induced was not enough to get compliance. Remember that Rodney King had to be brought down with a lot more than a 50,000 volt tazer before the officers were assured that they wouldn't be endangered after he had been resisting arrest. (I do want to say, though, that the beating was excessive, even granted that some use of their nightsticks was necessary to get control over him after he charged the officers during that stop.)

But what does it do? Is it just pain? Pain can be ignored. Involuntary muscle spasms? It seems like it would only affect a small area. Like I'd be curious to get hit with one once. In a controlled situation. You know. Just see what it's like.

The last half of those tazerings appeared to be tactically unnecessary . . . he was unable to comply and unable to attack. But, the guy was being a twat earlier so I'm hardly upset about it.

Twats deserve torture.

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
