Getting a Taser tonight

[lrahm]

I am going through training tonight. Any other LEOs out there Please speak up. What should I expect? I will be zapped several times.

Just practice your "Dont Tase me Bro!" line.

No biggie, it's 5 seconds. It's been several years since I have been tased but I took the full hit...not the weenie 1 second hit with a line of officers linking their arms. The pain I can deal with (it was only 5 seconds) it was the fact that I was unable to move at all that impressed me. I will choose taser every time over OC/CS gas.

I love that video....

Will you tase me sometime in the future? I've been curious as to what it feels like.

We can record it and post it on here.

Go to the bathroom BEFORE you get tazed.

I have to throw this post in that happened several years ago with OC. One of the funniet things I have ever seen.

I am going to do you one better (maybe). Was working a couple of years ago and an officer and his probationary officer calls me up and asks if I want to have a meal with them. I said sure. Right after that they stop a guy for something. He has a small container of OC spray on him. The officer sprays a little and gives it back to him. He said words that would later come back and haunt him, "this is kiddie shi.". He stops by the sector office (you guessed it), urinates and THEN washes his hands. We are now at dinner. After a few minutes, I see him wiggling around his seat to make himself comfortable. We order and are waiting. I then see a small bead of sweat rolling from his forehead. He now starts to tell me about the OC spray. By now he is in a full sweat. He has actually sweated through his gun belt. Man has this primal thought...do I eat or do I take care of the pain that is ripping my groin off. He tells me to take care of his training partner and goes back to the sector office for a shower.

I want to be there. I think we should volunteer TFrost for being such a trouble maker lately

Get someone to record it for you. I had a professor a couple semesters ago who brought in the video of him getting tased so he could start carrying one.

Is it a LEO training to get the right to carry one on the job or a personnal thing?

 

[redneckmedic]

Been there done that, still have the paralysis

Something I can;t understand. I have a gun but I don't have to be shot to know it works. Kind of ironic. It's training to get one. I've seen them used a bunch. At least it can be a tool that you don't have to strike or place your hands on a person to be effective.

I will make sure my bladder is empty.

Thanks for the kind words of support. Is it a minor paralysis or will I just drool a lot?

Yeah I always found it funny.
I guess you also have to get sprayed to carry pepper spray but you dont need to have your bones broke into pieces to carry a telescopic baton.
They must want you to know what it does on yourself so that you dont Tase everybody just for fun, something like that.

Also can you just refuse to get tased and still carry a Taser?
Or just refuse to carry one if you dont want to get tased?

You may want to remove your nipples piercings too, even though I think they shoot LEOs on the back to avoid touching the eyes (or your private parts ... outch! ) by accident.

Russian Roulette with a tazer?

I can refuse and then suffer the random cat calls from the other officers. I'll go through with it.
