Police Hit Man in Genitals With Taser (Not your usual "Police Brutality" story :)
ABC News ^ | Nov 22, 2005 | AP

FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. Nov 22, 2005 — Police accidentally hit a naked man in the genitals with a Taser after he was caught breaking windows and asking women to touch him, authorities said.

Jeremy J. Miljour, 26, tried to run away when sheriff's deputies approached so one of them shot their Taser, said Cpl. Matt Chitwood. But one of the gun's prongs accidentally hit Miljour's genitals and got stuck, Chitwood said.

"The Taser is relatively accurate, but when someone is moving like that, it doesn't matter if you have a Taser, or a pistol. (Officers) can't aim," Chitwood said.

Miljour was treated at a hospital before being taken to the Lee County jail. He was charged with indecent exposure, resisting an officer and criminal damage.

But did he enjoy the experience? Some people pay good money for that.

That guy will own a few tasers when he gets out. I think they got him "hooked" on it.

Good thing I am not a cop. I would have aimed for them.

And, I would have kept applying the trigger until the guy sounded like Michael Jackson. The only thing better would have been to get it recorded on my video monitor for future parties and get togethers.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what in the world does this line, in the middle of the story, mean?
