The Taser is high voltage at very low current. About the same voltage
and even lower current than those old joke "books" that when you
opened shocked you. The way it does it's job is that it's pulsed at a
proper sequence to block out and override the electrical impluses from
the brain that goes through the nerves and controls our muscles. It
stays on for 5 seconds, then turns off. It can be turned on again if
necesary. The 5 seconds is enough time to handcuff the subject. It is
sometimes painful and sometimes not, but it will usually make you fall
down (you can't control your muscles to balance) and it will make your
arms and legs flop around most of the time (sending pulses though the
nerves) and it usually makes you make um-um-um noises and sometimes
even scream. We had the whole range of reactions from officers in our
class, including one guy who asked, "When are you going to turn the
damn thing on?" when hit. Oh yeah. The Taser keeps a record of when,
how long and how many times it was on.


The Taser works on the same technology as the defibrillator machine,
pulsed current through muscle tissue. Its output is measured on watt-
seconds, as is the defib.

My Tesla coil is high voltage at low current, somewhere around 800KV on a
dry day at 1-2 microamps. It causes no muscle spasms, only slight RF
burns if the arc touches your skin. Feels like a pin prick from the
burning, not the current. In order to cause muscle spasms in humans, you
need 20-40 milliamps, a good shock from a defective 115VAC appliance
comes to mind. To cause muscle lockups, like the Taser produces, you
need around 60-80 ma. Death occurs at from 100-200ma, depending on the
victim's physical condition no cop is licensed to diagnose.

Does your cop training REALLY tell you to Tase us at traffic stops if our
"Papers Please" response to the storm troopers is insufficient, our taxes
not properly paid? The lady on the cop video had not attacked the
officers in any manner. She was sitting in her driver's seat, terrified,
and refusing to exit her vehicle for fear of being beaten up, like CNN
shows on TV quite often. Being alone and indefensible against a male
attack by a cop so mad he's screaming at her, one can only imagine her
state of fear at this screaming madman.

I think NOT....This isn't Nazi-occupied France.

....Yet.
