Out of Tenino, Washington comes this little story that I found rather humourous. A cop was nailed for trying out his Taser gun on a fellow at a social gathering. The man was asking for it, mind you. He wanted to know how it felt to be hit with one. So, his buddy obliged. And hit him in the genitals with it.
Hey, I don't know about you, but if I had to get someone's attention, that's where I would aim too. I've seen too many videos of somebody pumped up on PCP and other drugs get shot in the chest and just keep on coming. Nope, if you want me to pay attention, that's where you're going to have to hit me. A bit of a smaller area than say, the face, but a bit more sensitive too. Who knew you could fit all those ultra-touchy nerve endings in such a small patch? (Okay guys, it's a cold day as I'm writing this. You all know what I mean) Head shots look cool in the movies, but genital shots tend to make you sit up and take notice. Or sit down, actually. Or buckle over and puke your guts out.
Anyway, let's leave the shooter alone for a moment. Can you imagine the man first going home and telling his wife what had happened? "Sorry honey, but little Jim and the twins just aren't in the mood tonight." "Why not?" "Oh, you know, that old football injury........" And then fessing up to his boss because he wants compensation. "I won't be in for the next 12 weeks." "Why not?" "Because my nuts got zapped and I can't walk straight!" "Is 12 weeks enough? Maybe this is a permanent disability." "I don't think so. I am going for therapy at Ruby's Diner and Massage Parlour though." "Don't forget to tell me how well the sessions went. Sure you don't need more than 12 weeks?"
As for the shooter, he is being punished. I have to wonder why though. He demonstrated great problem solving skills in going to the source of the problem and certainly got the ‘suspect's' attention. Remember Rodney King? Maybe if our boy would have been there and shown his superior knowledge of where to fire a Taser the whole ugly mess would have gone away in a hurry. He really didn't want to shoot the poor dimwit in the first place, but you how you eventually cave in to the whiners? That's what the cop did. So, now he has a warning on his permanent record. Remember that time you coloured outside the lines in Grade 2? Well, it went on your permanent record and if you employer ever checks, you could be fired. That's the same Sword of Damocles that now hangs over this cop's head.
Me? I am going to obey the law. No sense taking the chance that this marksman is on my local force.

I don't get it...the guy "asked" to be tazed, so why is the cop being punished for taking what, in my opinion, was pretty damned good initiative!
If I was cracked up outta my head on PCP and traditional methods of restraint or subduction weren't working, I think a shot to the balls with a tazer would definetly make me stop dead in my tracks!
LOL
Gotta wonder when the world got do damned crazy...
Great post!
Take care buddy,
Nick
