Beaver Dam PD Citizens Police Academy 2009 - Week 6: Defensive Tactics / Taser Gun Usage

BEAVER DAM, Wi - Five cadets with the Beaver Dam Citizens Police Academy volunteered to be on the receiving end of a 5-second jolt from a taser gun during the defensive tactics session of the 10-week course. After signing a waiver relinquishing the city of any liability, Nate Soto, Jordan Matuseski, Jason Acuff, Lisa Narr and Deb Lins lined up one by one to get a 50,000 volt shock from a police-issue, Taser X26 Electronic Control Device. According to their website, the X26 transmits electrical pulses through insulated conductive wires and into the body affecting the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system. The participants said it was a wild ride. After the cadets recovered, department personnel removed the two probes that penetrated the skin, and treated the wounds, which were minor but enough for some of the participants to bleed. Everyone we spoke with agreed that the exercise was a rewarding experience that gave them new insight into the world of law enforcement. (Craig Warmbold, WBEV-WXRO, April 13, 2009)

instead of shooting out wires, can the gun just shoot water and send electricity through water?

I want to be tasered! How can I get it done to me repeatedly?

[DopeKeen]

I guess you could say the whole experience was rather "shocking".

I got a "jolt" out of watching this.

Their expressions were sure "electrifying."

I really want to fap "lightning" fast right now.

This video defiantly "charged" me up.

After watching this I'm too "juiced" to sleep.
