Twerkers getting electrocuted would be illegal, right? Nevermind.

Electrocution do not work that way! (news monster)

No, it lived. It was running away at the end. Electrocuted things don't do that.

Pretty sure they electrocuted the little bugger too. Get a load of its reaction when it touched the power lines at 1:52.

The one that would want to see her electrocuted.

You can argue semantics all you want, what kills you is the flow of electricity through your heart, a.k.a. the current.

Pretty decent article on how electricity actually kills you, and the incredibly low amount of amperage that it would actually take to do so.

Semi off-topic but the title "NES Zapper" reminds me of the NES Advantage my little brother had. For those that don't know, it was this controller that was meant to be like a real arcade-style controller with enlarged buttons & a true post and knob joystick. It had a big base that you could set down on a coffee table or in your lap. Here's what they look like.

My brother had it in his lap, probably playing Metroid or something, and being that it was wintertime, and prime scuff-your-socks-on-the-carpet-and-static-shock-your-little-brother-season, I scuffed my socks on the carpet and touched his hand as he played. What instantly followed was like a super-powered shock that I felt as much as he did (well, not quite as much...) It turns out that the NES Advantage had a metal base, and when I shocked his hand, it fried the controller(on his lap) and it basically electrocuted his wang. He screamed like a a little girl so I was, as you can imagine, completely thrilled with the results. Unfortunately my parents didn't see things my way and they made me buy another controller. It was so worth it though.

@pumkinandstorm, your tags tell a different story... monkey electrocuted paramedics

LOL; thanks both! Of course, as I noted in the title Deedub81, it's a NEAR strangulation/electrocution. And a pretty darn uncomfortable one at that!*promote

Even though that was crazy......I can't upvote. It's neither strangulation nor electrocution.

You're right! If she was found to of committed a more serious crime she should definitely of been electrocuted.

What level of crime would say makes it ok? On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being parking ticket and 10 being doomsday device terrorist attack targeting the president and a kitten orphanage?

If as a cop you can't cope with a mouthy, pregnant woman without electrocuting her over a minor vehicle incident then you should not be a cop.
These guys clearly don't have the common sense, empathy or physical capabilities for the job.

That's not electrocution. An electrocution video would be a snuff film. This video shows electric shock.

Electrocution is death by electric shock.

As part of his campaign to smear Westinghouse's AC standard in favor of his own DC standard, Thomas Edison really did electrocute stray dogs (and an elephant...I swear it's true) to try to demonstrate how dangerous AC was. Ultimately, Westinghouse's alternating current won.

The big winner in the great current wars of the late 19th century: Australia's greatest export, AC/DC.

Electrocution: AC vs DC has been added as a related post - related requested by PlayhousePals on that post.
