Let's taser our kids

Police taser 8-year-old girl when babysitter calls for help | Police State USA

“The force of the electricity shot through her body, lifted her, and threw her against a wall,” the suit alleges.

Sorry, lost me right there.

I lied, couldn't help myself. More bull**** spewed from someone wanting some free money.

"The mother describes the girl as suffering in pain the entire night from the Taser shock"

 

[HoughMade]

We all know that 8 year olds with knives are absolutely no threat to themselves or others.

Read this the other day. I'd like to see a taser pick someone up and throw them against the wall.

The police should have probably shot her instead of using a taser

...and a suicidal 8 years old....sounds to me like they have a lot more to worry about that a few seconds of high voltage.

High voltage, but very low amperage.

They must have cooler Tasers than us. Ones that have a "suspend physics" button.

I'm sure they would have also sued if they stood by and watched her cut herself. "They are here to protect us, and they just stood there while my charming little princess sliced her wrist."

The victim described the scene she saw to a sketch artist as she was being zapped across the room...

This might be within the realms of physics if the current is DC, which tends to "knock" you away because it causes muscles to contract involuntarily. AC current tends to "freeze" you because the current is alternating so quickly that your muscles are basically being told to do opposite motions at the same time. So it's not entirely impossible that if the girl was in the right position, the electric shock might have caused her muscles to throw herself against the wall in one spasm. On the other hand, I thought taser is meant to paralyze.

I used one to help escape from the Black Mesa compound.

Or it is Washington DC physics. All facts and newtonian physics are thrown out the window and replaced by belief, opinion, climate change, hippies crying over the death of trees, and warm fuzzies to protect the children...

Every Taser deployment I've seen ends in the person stiffening up like a board and falling down. Somebody is hearing the cha-ching of a cash register.

I have been hit with about the same delivery a taser has by a hi-output ignition in my drag car. It put me on the floor right be the fender. Did not throw me anywhere. Hurt like a Biatch for a while.
Been hit with much higher amperage in a 440 3 phase power source. Again, knocked to the floor once it let me go.

Years ago, I'm guessing before they came out with these fancy Star War Death Rays, part of the taser training was being shocked by them. They hurt, but out of 40 people being shocked, no one was ever thrown across the room. Everyone just pretty much fell where they stood. Some of the bigger guys just fell to a knee.

I know nothing about electricity, but Tasers are definitely the "freeze" one. I took a full ride for training, one prong went through my belt and the other in my leg just above my knee. It locked up every muscle between them. As soon as the Taser shut off, the pain instantly stopped and the muscles relaxed. The residual affect was the same as if I'd been doing squats for a lot of reps, just muscle soreness for a bit.

I'll bet it was a demonic taser! Not only will there be a lawsuit, but a movie deal will be in the works, too.

 

[IndyGunworks]

Not a very good news source to site either. police state usa is full of crap.

I'll just leave this here for those interested.

I've been shocked more times than I can remember over my career (maybe that explains a lot). I'd gladly take a 120 volt hit from a wall receptacle over a tazer shot.
