“The producer from TruTV called me [Monday afternoon]. I can’t even get any work done now. I’m taking calls from camera crews and TV stations,” Johnson told FOX40 in Sacramento.

Ayala was eventually subdued by police officers and bystanders, but it wasn’t easy, as the video shows

It’s a bold move. Applicants try to make an impression on a prospective employer, and try to get them to remember you over the other applicants. I’d say he succeeded admirably!

Ya know, the LEO haters should just try doing that job once in a while. It might give them a slight appreciation fow what they put up with.

It’s really too bad that there had to be a female officer trying to subdue the guy.

In my book, taze him.

Yes there is. Not only do you have to worry about hot sparks from the welding, there is hot metal from grinding and best of all, UV burn from the arc.

I would have just handed him a TIG torch and had him run a bunch of beads. If he were able to do so, he would later come to with a “sunburn” that hurts bad enough on your arm. Those areas that never see the light of day would be as red as a Ferrari.
