My husband did. As training for his department, they are required to be tazed. Everyone in his department has gone through it. He says it sucks and does incapacitate you momentarily but you shake it off and get back to work.

Was he tazed 5 times in 6 minutes, or once to feel it?

Multiple times. Once to feel it and after that, you can go as long as you can do it or stop. Some guys were real macho men & kept asking for more while others stopped at 3 seconds & vowed to never do it again.

My neighbor is a cop (we call him "Cop-Neighbor" ) told us the same thing. He says that they went through this in training so that if they ever use the taser they can relate to the jury during trial what it is like to be hit. He still has a small burn mark from his (I think he has been on the job for 2 years - maybe 3 now).

We were watching some stupid redneck funny home videos (is it Country Fried Videos? Something like that on CMT I think...) -- anyways, it shows a cop who is supposed to be hit in the chest - instead the guy using the taser misses & hits his groin. My husband was almost in tears watching it, but we were laughing none-the-less.

But this has zero to do with the topic at hand - just reading this thread reminded me of that video.

Soldier on...

Mike still has his too. On his back & on his leg.

That was incredibly disgusting. Yes, the kid should have followed the rules, yes he should have left when they told him too, but NO ONE deserves that kind of treatment and police brutality. The part that really got me was when the cops told the kid in the white shirt to back up or they would taze him too. So...when you try to stand up for other people, you are threatened with violence?

I'm so ashamed of this, but I'm glad someone caught it on video.

Tasers aren't developed to deliver lasting pain. They incapacitate you for a second to a few seconds. You can get up afterwards, even if you're a teeny tiny student that chose not to follow the rules and create a whole situation where people like me laugh at you since they just saw your video.

I don't understand the patriot act reference - perhaps he's worried that his name is on the terrorist watch list?

Probably, being that he's an Iranian American and figured the cops profiled him, rather than tried to deal with his temper tantrum.

Umm that entire library is filled with Iranian Americans.

If the cops were profiling, they would have tasered the entire population.
