And what a way to get control back........

Ray

I call that good policing... she complied with minimum force being used ...
Having been tazered a few times ..believe me all that wailing was a put on.
Its not really a painful experience ..just a lack of control of muscle use .which last a few minutes..

If you need to be tazered come down to Florida and I will demo on you ...

CaliforniaBride

Yes she did.

CaliforniaBride

She wasn't presenting any danger to the officers. IMO that was excessive force and a total disregard for another human being.

Dumb arse me electrocuted myself the other day, although it was only a household plug socket!!! What sort of current do you get from a tazer in comparison to a plug socket? Just want to put it into prospective.

Ray

JeeZ thats far more dangerous ..AMPS kill not VOLTS ...Tazer or stun guns maybe 100K volts but only a third of an amp ...

Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.

So you would do what?????????? ......

Partystar

I could take it then! I didn't make a sound, just stood there for a sec trying to figure out what the hell just happened!!! Then again, if I can handle childbirth without drugs, I've pretty much got anything down!!!

krizzy

Maybe the shows I watched up here about the tazer is still to fresh in my mind......but I don't see that as good policing..........

CaliforniaBride

Ok Ray. Let's do this slowly. I magine the same situation in the UK. What would be the response?

Note to Ray: I don't have to agree with you

CaliforniaBride

Like amputation without anaesthetic?

Partystar

How many babies have you had without drugs?!?!

gruffbrown

Paaa that's nothing, try getting a man cold

I think we have seen enough Cops shows to know what most do.......I've seen cops talk to people who were a lot more dangerous than she was......for a lot longer......and have a good outcome...
I think cops have a nasty job......... they have to think fast.........to stay alive......but I did not see her as a danger at that point in time.....

And one more point to clear up...........I may think the police were in the right at the time to shot that guy in London.........but that does not mean I agree with everything they do.........just thought I'd make that point for one or two people..........my point of view changes as facts come in.......I left the board about the London shooting because I believed my hands were being tied.....if I'd carried on posting there and facts came in that there was a cover up....or that things were not as they first seemed.......my views would change........I just thought I'd make that clear...........

The bitch was well out of order and deserved all she got. The Policeman was very polite it was her that had the attitude.
