What’s up with tazers? This is not the first time I’ve read of a situation where tazing a suspect was ineffective. If they cannot be relied upon to do what they are intended to do, why not come up with some other, more effective tactic?
Best I’ve heard, being high on some drugs can hasten the recovery time from a taze, which is a brief shock, not a continuous shock. It is similar to trying to taze a dog.
A continuous-taze system... maybe. It would be iffy. Though I sometimes have to say that chivalry has decayed over the years. This monstrous hate and rage is wrong, but so is the loss of first-responder chivalry.
Chivalry matters — matters intensely. For a couple of years I have been a contractor for a major US freight railroad company that I will not name because I don’t want to drag it into this conversation. One thing that truly impressed me about it, and maybe others who know it may be familiar with it, is that they make a policy of encouraging their field workers to assist at scenes of things like traffic accidents (that often do not even involve trains). The result is an almost incredible series of feel good stories that hit the internal company media — I see at least one a week. “Train crew rescues family trapped in car accident minutes before it burst into flames/sank in a lake” and the like. Increasing chivalry consciousness would do a whole lot for the field of actual professional first responders, is all I have to say.
Thank you for hearing me out.
