My Dad got TAZERed
Posted: November 11th, 2007, 1:57 amMy Dad is a cop (which is funny...) and he just did a training course on TAZERs, during which each officer was required to be zapped, so they knew what it was like.
He sent this email to me and my brother and sister just before:
Soooo..... Really don't risk getting TAZERed I think!
He sent this email to me and my brother and sister just before:
Guys.
If ever a police officer informs you that he intends to TASER you unless you stop what you are doing I advise that you S T O P doing whatever it is that you are doing...
Was zapped yesterday.
50,000 volts.
Will not even begin to describe how painfull the experience was, to the extent that no one who has been tasered has been able to describe it.
All I will say is that the moment the power was turned on I went through three distinct thought processes.
First was a repeated (in my mind) loop of "how long is this going to last?".
Second was a repeated "turn it off!".
Third, when I genuinely (and I mean GENUINELY) thought I had an alien in my intestines that was going to explode through my stomach wall, combined with the PAIN in my hip, back and shoulder, was a constant thought that if the power wasn't turned off I could actually die from whatever it was that was happening inside me.
Finally the power was shut off (5 second burst) and I would have done anything anyone asked of me so long as the power was not turned on again....
Do not get TASERED for any reason....
Dad.
Soooo..... Really don't risk getting TAZERed I think!
