incorrect.
Gtfo...you have to be kidding right? Inform me what it is then; Im all ears.[/quote:0608b]

rolleyes:

The only reason its "irrelevant" - is because it sensationalizes your point. "Oh look the cops are electrocuting people". This is what they call intellectual dishonesty.

You were fucking sensationalizing all over the place. Ridiculous.

This issue doesnt even matter to me because our government decided against police tasers, so good on ya whatever you win.



I prefer chokeholds and tackles to electric shocks....

[quote:0608b]Electroshock weapon technology uses a temporary high-voltage low-current electrical discharge to override the body's muscle-triggering mechanisms. The recipient feels great pain, and can be momentarily paralyzed while an electric current is being applied. It is reported that applying electroshock devices to more sensitive parts of the body is more painful. The relatively low electric current must be pushed by high voltage to overcome the electrical resistance of the human body. The resulting 'shock' is caused by muscles twitching uncontrollably, appearing as muscle spasms. However, because the amount of current is relatively low, there is considered to be a 'margin' of safety by a number of medical experts. Experts generally agree that this margin is highly dependent on the overall health of the person subjected to the shock. Usually, the higher the voltage, the more effective it is. It may take several seconds to subdue a subject with 100 kV, but only about a second with 1 MV (1,000 kV).[/quote:0608b]
