Not since I've been out of school and maybe the one or two instances, I'm sure I was probably shoved first. Besides, I'm not going to the academy anymore so it doesn't really matter.

Isn't tasering just electricity? Anyone touching the perp would get zapped too, right?
It depends. It runs out of your body really fast because of grounding and all of that physics stuff but if you were touching his shoulder while it happened you'd probably feel it.
Electricity hurts like hell. It feels like someone's punching you in the heart and sitting on your chest at the same time.
Gee, you're absolutely right. No one ever telegraphs intended violence through words, they always just start shooting up places right off the bat.Quote:

No matter the intent of others you still have a situation that could quickly become dangerous for the police in a matter of seconds with the right provocation.
Are the odds of that low? Yes. Is the safest thing to do is end the possible situation as quickly as possible and remove the catalyst? Yes.
But thankfully you provided this clarification for that retarded comment:So, exactly how long have you been waiting for the robot police? Everyone has that within them, it's a matter of suppression.Quote:
What I was saying is that someone who has it within them to yell and scream and feel the urge to hurt or kill someone should not even consider being a cop.
id like to add id love robot police, gimmie a robocop!!!
Are you sure about that. It seems like the taser-phase last for at least 5-10 seconds of non-stop voltage? If you touch his shoulder you will become the new carrier of the electricity and you would get the equal amount of voltage right? I once got 220volts while trying to fix a GD-rom drive but strangely enough it made me feel merry afterwards.
I remember getting one hell of an electric shock when changing the switch plate to a lightswitch in my bedroom. The screwdriver had a plastic handle but I had my index finger and thumb at the base where the metal meets the plastic for a better grip. The screw went too deep, cut a wire, and a jolt just surged through my body. It wasn't enough to seriously injure me but it was enough break the circuits.
If that shit paralyzed me for a few seconds I can just imagine what a tazer can do.
I was shocked by an electric catfish at work the other day.
