Stun guns for police 'can harm health'

War story, war story! Attention, TFL, KSFreeman is going to tell yet another war story about his LEO daze. Those whose eyes glaze over at his silly, sappy stories about hot women, car chases and jumping out of black helicopter stories, and being suave, witty and urbane, hit the back button now.
Working as a LEO. They bring this guy into court who had done his DOC time and his PD filed for jail time credit while he was down at the county for his local time (convicted in two different courts--one a heavy felony, the other a misdemeanor).
PA and PD are at bench. Guy turns over table and begins shouting calling upon his friends in the spirit world for help. Bailiff, retired Lafayette po-po with a bad knee (and yet he was in front of me, me--eyeing the jury room and wishing we could carry .45s), rushes forward and attempts to be his friend.
Rolling on ground and punches. Subjects right themselves. Bailiff whips out stun gun. Guy, "you realize as an immortal, those earth weapons have no impact upon me." More fun ensues.
If anyone has seen the Rodney King tape (all of it) or has seen Mas Ayoob eat one, they realize that these things are perfect for England--silly and ineffective.

If anyone has seen ... Mas Ayoob eat one
Mas Ayoob fed me one. I resisted the urge to ask what the he11 that was supposed to be, and instead dumped 17 rounds into a target - a task that took long enough that I began to suffer from boredom. Obviously I did not suffer a heart attack, and am unlikely to suffer a miscarriage.
To paraphrase Cooper: if carrying a stungun comforts you, do so - but if you do, do not insert the battery, for you may find reason to use it, which will annoy your attacker and give him reason to cause you great harm.

The first thing that comes to mind is that Amnesty International needs to get off their lily-white, ivory-tower butts and start enforcing laws.
"Don't like the way we're doing it? Fine. Here's the badge, you do it."
Second, I don't know about England, but around here if you're doing something that causes the electronic defense stuff to get un-lockered, then the electricity is the least of your cardiac/miscarriage risks.

Isn't it good to know that the rest of the world is safe? Provided of course, that no one outside of Q Branch ever figures out how to combine coiled copper wire and a battery...

I would tend to agree. Here's why.

Heart attacks? Miscarriages? At a wimpy little thirty grand voltage? These people have overinflated ideas about their own importance.

Hmmm. He examined persons executed by electric chair? And he found that electricity can harm humans?
THIS MAN IS A GENIUS!!!
Uh, question. Where did a Brit find people to examine? They don't have captital punishment over there. Did he come here? Then why didn't he do some research on victims of tasers HERE? We've got plenty of them.
Maybe he didn't want to know???
