Can you believe this
I read with interest the other day an article that dealt with that special tool the police-force use to restrain a person who is out of control. The tool is called a taser. As everyone should know the taser disrupts the nervous system so under normal procedures "when used properly" the person can be controlled.
I have never seen the unit personally, but I have seen a video of my one and only son-inlaw being zapped by one. I have to state watching his training video, that he did a great job withstanding the jolts received. He never did fully go down, but I do believe and he would have to agree he would have quit resisting if it had continued.
Anyhow, I was reading the article and when I completed it, I thought about my favorite son-inlaw and wondered if he was up for another round or shall I say another challenge. Below I have cut in the article so that you all can read it plus prove that I didn't make this one up.
TENINO, Wash. -- It was just a little stun gun fun, but a police officer who demonstrated his Taser by zapping a willing subject in the genitals has drawn a warning from his bosses.
Officer Randy Reynolds ran into trouble when video of the incident last spring was posted on YouTube.com. The unidentified man wasn't injured, and onlookers can be heard laughing in the background.
Interim Police Chief Larry Dickerson said Tuesday that Reynolds had been attending a social gathering, but was in uniform and on his way to work at the time. The man repeatedly asked Reynolds to use the weapon on him, and Reynolds eventually obliged — twice.
``He said he just wanted to know what it felt like. Randy didn't want to do it at first, but the guy kept asking,'' said Dickerson, who interviewed the man.
No uniformed officer should demonstrate his stun gun outside of the line of duty except during training exercises, the chief said.
``You don't just go around doing your own demonstrations,'' he said.
Reynolds, 30, has been with the police department in the southwestern Washington town since December 2005. He will receive a formal reprimand in his personnel file and a warning not to misuse police equipment, Dickerson said. He also must review the department's Taser policy and go over them with an instructor.
Ok
Your all laughing that any fool would let this happen and even worse is that they film it. The officer was wrong in what he did and he was reprimanded as he should.
My only question bow is to my favorite son-inlaw.
ARE YOU UP FOR A SECOND ROUND with the taser?
