Can you stand after being tased?
« on: November 16, 2006, 09:42:11 PM »
Ok so don't flame me because I'm at least asking around before formulating an opinion about this....

But, after being tased can you stand up and walk within a minute or so?


NSFW (language)
Here is a liberal hippie college student getting tased for resisting the police.

The story behind it so far is it was after 11PM and the kid refused to show his ID card in the library when asked.  The librarian called the campus cops, the kid refused to cooperate and leave and got tased.

again my question in relation to the video, the police seem to not want to drag the kid out and want him to walk out.  OK, understandable for safety reasons.  They then ask him after being tased to stand up and the kid repeatedly refuses and repeatedly get's tased.

You'd think a bright college kid would realize after a few jolts that when the police want him to stand up and say "we will tase you if you don't" that he should expect to get tased if he doesn't comply.  SO i'm asking does anyone know if he would be physically able?

My son pleaded and cajoled and finally got my brother (the Sheriff's deputy) to taze him.

He got up and walked away with little trouble.

It depends on the person, kinda like "can you stand after I hit you with a roundhouse right"?

Mike Tyson, probably yes..Michael Fox, probably no.

The greatest advantage of being tazed (as the target) is that once it's over, it's over and you're absolutely fine.  I was a bit tingly and had a burn where the probe was, but nothing besides that.  

Pepper spray, on the other hand... hours of misery.

But you could honestly stand up on your own if instructed to do so after being tased?

What do you think of the video?

I've seen cows get tazed and stand right up afterwards.

I have tazed dozens of people, not with the hand held "stun guns", but the 2 darts that hook in and deliver a nice jolt when you pull the trigger. With the darts in, you can shock the poop out of most people and keep them down. They literally drop like a sack of potatoes, some urinate.

Others, though, can stand right away, even run... I've had to break the darts free on several occasions and go for a 2nd shot. One dude I tazed stood there, looked me in the eye and said "Yea, I feel it"... he was on PCP though.

It also depends a lot on how good you hit em with the darts, one fires low, the other high to get a good spread and widen the area of shock, if they hit too close / far it doesnt drop em as well. Same if the hooks only snag clothes.

Once the fish hooks are in, an MD or nurse must remove them.. although there might have been an occasion or two the darts were pulled out by accident, which looks like it hurts really bad.

The training class to be tazer authorized was 4 hours with a BS test at the end.

Edit: Usually after getting shot & shocked people beg, cry, scream to not be shocked again, are willing to comply and stand, with help, up after being cuffed. While its possible the dude in the video couldn't stand, it looked to me like he was putting on a good show for the crowd.

I wonder if I get moded if I cut n' paste my own text.  :eek:  ;)


"Use of force to physically control someone, well that's what "arrest" is. Use of or threat of pain to control someone when no one is in danger, I think that is immoral.

He wasn't threatening anyone he was just disobeying. He didn't have to stand up, they could have picked him up.  Yes it would be a pain in the ass, but there you have itI think tasers have just made cops lazier. If not that, than physically incapable people are becoming cops because they can rely on the taser...maybe both. And with the reliance on the weapon to force people to comply comes a problem of dehumanization...

"The officers used the "drive stun" setting in the Taser"

...right, just like a cattle prod."
