jakee 1,594 #8 December 8, 2005 The thing that gets me is that the reason for the cop repeatedly zapping her was that she would not get up when ordered. Because she was already incapacitated by the f'n tazer. It's not the first time I've read of that happening either. You've got to wonder how well people issued with tazers are being trained on their use and effects. Can anyone comment?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

On the other hand, isn't it possible the officer reasonably believed the Tazer probes got wedged harmlessly somewhere between the target's wrinkles and had no effect? Just a thought Blutarsky 2008.

But being as this is a Tazer Shockmaster 44, the most powerful tazer in the world, and would shock your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky?....Well, do ya punk?"
