That guy is a pretty typical beligerant drunk, slow learner too.

To you law enforcment types:

I observed that the guy was trying to get back into his truck and drive off. Knowing that the guy is drunk and might kill somone, what force would then be authorized to restrain him outside of the taser that we witnessed?

PS that was awsome!

GS,

Once the Trooper told him he was under arrest any "reasonable" physical force is authorized. Once he squared off and physically resisted he was now in the area of assaulting an Officer, instant felon, and the force continuum goes on. If he got into the vehicle that would be extremely bad and tantamount to having a deadly weapon. If he threatened to use it as a weapon deadly force would be authorized.

Frankly the tazer was the absolute best weapon to use to get compliance. No injury to the Officer or to the suspect, unlike a fight would be.

Are typical beligerant drunks typically so hard to body slam on the ground and cuff before they almost get back in their truck and drive away? If they are, he should have started lighting him up from the get go. Would have been another 15 seconds of comedy, and all that heavy breathing wouldn't have covered up those comical grunts from 'ol boy resisting.

I don't think its a matter of "hard" but risky. He could have slammed the guy but the risk of injurry to either one icreases ten fold the longer the struggle goes on

also if I'm not mistaken there's a minimum safe distance the officer has to be and that two people touching while one gets tazered and both would feel it.

Watching some of the other videos it seems like tazer is pretty good as far as eliminating somones will to resist further.

The officer did a GREAT job!
If he had of wrestle with the guy the drunk moron might have gotten the officers gun and that would have been bad.

I think he should have used the duracells in his flashlight up against that *******s head.

Has anyone put the bull video on the PETA board?

not really....it's done to humans all the time. It was a test of the "animal taser"

Not to pick on you oct but people complain about tests like this but what they don't realize is that the bull is fine. What's more is the fact that these tests helped develop a method of taking down animals without hurting them. Lets say that a bull has gone wild and they cant get a tranquilizer in him or any animal running through the streets for that matter. This allows you to take the animal down without hurting it or killing it.

The same approach has been applied to humans. It allows police to subdue "SUSPECTS" with out injury to them or the arresting officer.

Hey, if they captured that video when the bull was happily mauling someone, then I'd be all for it. It was in a pen and they purposely fired on it to show off their product.

Dont confuse my last post with PETA

I'd rather see it done to a human in a pen. entardtainment!

Gotta agree...what earthly use is there for an 'animal tazer'??
If you cannot control an animal without the use of high voltage charges, then you have no bussiness being anywhere near that animal.

If the situation warrants full on removal of an animal because it is endangering life or property, you should shoot it with a weapon that keeps the animal down once you let go of the trigger.
If you want the animal removed, but alive, use a tranquilizer gun, every vet has one.

See how that bull immediately jumped to his feet and charged? What good would that thing do you if the pen didnt stop him?
Cruel, sadistic, and as that bull leaping instantly to his feet and charging demonstrates, absolutely useless for it's intended use, it's just gonna turn him from 2 tonne of muscle, into 2 tonne of extremely pissed off muscle that will charge your stupid arse as soon as the current stops.
Sure, you could hit him again, but those batteries aint gonna last forever, and old man bull might look slow and dopey, but stamina certainly isnt his weak point.

Definately the bee's knees as far as subduing unweildy humans goes though
