Sadly more and more police forces are getting militarized or are working under unchecked corruption where only the bullies get promoted. In other cases, they are just getting lied to. In Putnam County FL after 12 children were tased and a Marine was wrongly tased in front of his house, this was reported to have happened at a Town Hall meeting when Panel faces heat after tazing incident
---------------
Rob Reisinger, the training officer for the Leon County Sheriff's Department said he has tased over 200 people and been tased on several occasions.
Reisinger said he believes the effects on the body are minimal at worst.
"It will not disrupt the heart. It will not disrupt the pacemaker," Reisinger proclaimed.
"Rake your feet across the carpet a couple of times and touch something medal. That's approximately 50,000 watts."
When the eruption of laughter that ensued following Reisinger's comments finally subsided, someone seemingly more qualified to comment on such a matter rebutted his statement.
--------------------
Even ignorant born agains like me know that 50,000 watts is either a typo or a mispeak, but that aside, by Reisinger's definition, "Help, I've just tased myself"!)
But no wonder Reisinger made a fool of himself and they've been tasing so many children. In the article, Experts debate stun guns Gary Bowling, a training officer for the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, said he left a Taser seminar thinking UL endorsed Tasers. He said the UL name convinced him that he could ``Taser a 4- to 400-year-old, if necessary.''
''I trust UL,'' Bowling said. ``I treat that chart as gospel.''
When told by The Herald that UL had not tested the product, Bowling said, ``That chart's misleading. I looked at that and I thought UL had tested Tasers and put that dot on the chart.''
Thank you. With all the evidence resulting in death by taser, there is no excuse for LEOs not to know that the taser kills.
