Taser

The primary job of the taser is to stop Officers injuries in arresting people, period.

It hurts, it incapacitates, it sometimes kills (jury is still out on that) people who are drug damaged, huge cocaine blood content for instance.

A 105 lb female Officer can arrest a 250 lb drunk that is a good thing and seeing a drunk, in charge of a vehicle flop around till he got the message, and even though he was dumb!! The alcohol did not stop him feeling the pain, and quitting resistance when he had enough, he wasn’t shot, he was not the recipient of ASP tattoo marks, his elbows or knees where not ruined!!

Even his car was intact (hill billy Caddy) so b/4 people criticize, try rolling around on the hard ground as an adult! Try it for 3 minutes! The Officer was correct, if he was better trained in street fighting, a tight fist punch to Mr. Drunk’s throat could have killed him!!

I live in Orlando, and dodge drunk drivers on a fairly consistent Friday, Saturday exercise, hail the Officer with the taser.
Keep Safe.

So much for tasers. In my opinion, this one has got to be one of the funniest DUI arrests that I've seen:
Hate to burst the bubble, but I'm fairly certain that's the busty blonde female deputy from Reno 911.

Hilarious. Looks like a good "shoot" to me. I like how the officer has the ability to sink the barbs in, then administer or stop administering more juice as the situation may demand - looks like a handy product.
