So. I was asked if I would volunteer to be "tased"

My coworker is a friend of mine and his cousin is a cop.
They have a taser training coming up this saturday and are looking for a volunteer who isn't a cop or military, so that the trainees can see how a "normal" person will react to being tased.
I've been watching videos of it on youtube....

and I am strangely interested.

Not sure if I am going to do it or not. Would you?

Only thing I would get out of it is helping out my friend and bragging rights, although I wasn't looking to get anything out of it anyway.

 

LOL.
My only concern is that I have asthma. I wasn't sure if they frown on people who have health conditions. Obviously things like a heart condition I probably wouldn't want to do it, but I don't have one, that I know of. LOL.

 

doooo it.

 

i would. it will hurt for a little bit, but then you will be able to say you did it. plus it would be even cooler if you could get it on video.

 

oh, if I do it, I WILL get it on video. lol.

 

Make sure you clear your bowels beforehand or you could have a surprise at the end.

 

A friend of mine is a state trooper. We tried to get him to taze another friend of mine who wanted him to. Mike does stupid human tricks constantly(all American wrestler, mma fighter) ken said no

 

this seems like one of those things that'll feel like it's longer than it actually is when you're doing it. I think you should do it, not many people can say that they've been tased

 

This, with consideration. I work corrections and have been tased in training. It will knock you on your ass, but one must consider the effects are lessened if you are a larger person. The guy doing the tasing in the vids, for instance, would almost certainly be affected less than the majority of subjects tased in the vid. Also depends on the taser........but if you feel up to it, generally a waiver is required

 

Or you could get tased for a real reason. That would be more manly



Don't tase me bro!

 

I can tell you from experience it does hurt.

 

its not bad, the hurt stops as soon as the tazer stops although you will feel tense afterwords. Plus in a class room setting its very controled, you will have people to catch you. Its not bad, i mean its not fun but on the pain scale it around a 5. I would take a tazer over pepper spray anyday.

 

Smart man. It's one thing if a department is looking for volunteers for actual training. But to just do it for fun could open the trooper up to all kinds of problems. We had two cops in a nearby department get fired for doing that exact same thing. They eventually fought it and got reinstated but using a dept issued taser on personal time on friends would be terrible judgement at best and opening that person up to unwanted attention and potential disciplinary action.

 

I would definitely do it if I had the chance.

 

do it!

 

Wear dark pants just in case

 

No effin way dude, you could have a weak heart and not even know it, think about this dude, are there any EMT's standing by? It's a stupid idea IMO.

 

Or just wear Depends

In a classroom setting, likely there will be someone with some training.

 

Or they could just recharge the taser and shoot you again
