Getting shot by a taser is like being shot with a less than lethal projectile that also zaps your internal organs.

My cop buddy just had to do his taser certification (where they zap you just to show you what you are doing to people), and he still holds that he would rather be shot by a real bullet (which he has been as well) than tased. So while the damage done physically by a taser is tame compared to a firearm, physical pain isn't the only damage done by violence. Now none of us were there to see this kid; who knows if he was putting himself or other people at risk as it happened. Certainly, though, a taser is a real escalation over a good wrestle.

And how many thousands of dollars does it cost to replace everything burned out by this? Kind of a nasty surprise, if your car happens to get zapped simply by being in line with the target, don't you think?


A friend of mine had a power line fall on top of his newer car (someone crashed into the pole and he was parked into the parking lot next to it.) He took it in and the mechanic said it would cost more than he paid for the car when he bought it brand new to replace the electrical system.

Don't get me wrong, I think this will be a very useful tool; however, I would hate to be in the position of having to prove and then get money from the police department for a new car if they zapped my car by accident.

I find that Winstonfield is simply a conservative Republican lap dog. Saying and doing anything his masters wish, with total obedience and unwavering fanatic behavior. If they told him, the sky will be yellow zig zaps, purple poka-dots, and red curvy lines, three weeks from now. He would be on here, saying so, without an ounce of evidence or proof. In fact, he would show websites devoted to this concept, which in turn, are hardly non-bias. Remember that, when you read his stuff.


Despite his untasteful arrogance, it's obvious he knows alot more about the subject than you. Forget "climate change" because that is not the real issue. The issue is money, and Winston is completely right in the fact that COP15 is going to make a number of people somewhat richer. Imagine Enron, on a global scale. In fact the same names show up (Ken Lay) if you take a look at carbon credits. As for the scientists, of course they are not all a part of some conspiracy. But important people like the president of the IPCC stand to gain loads of cash, thankfully people are finally taking a look at their work

P.S. if you saw Winstons youtube link, you would also see he is alot funnier than you. YOU LOSE!

Winstonfield claims he's seen all the data on global warming. Yeah.....sure....

To have seen ALL the data on global and climate knowledge, would take up 57 years of straight reading (assuming no one writes another book from this moment onward). In addition, that Winstonfield observed personally, EVERY, lecture given. Both with those recorded, and was their personally when they were not. If anyone is getting the idea, that Winstonfield's arguement is just alittle exaggerated...you might be correct.

Scientists look at data differently then do lay-persons would of data. Its to look at the data, and then try to give the best explainition for the data AT PRESENT. Winstonfield would do well to get a scientific education, before opening his mouth, and gush gibberish of flimsy thought.

There's more then enough data that points out, what scientists are explaining. Unfortunately, scientists, are not often good at explaining stuff to non-scientists. Sort of like how not many thought Michael Jackson was a genius of a musician, but instead, a wacko.

If you think climate change is not taking place, then the burden of evidence is up to you, to prove. For the moment, the evidence seems to point that there is a direct link between man's usage of things, and the climate worsening.

Just a note from the nerd side: Darth Vader never became the emperor. Even after the emperor zapped him (because he forgot to use force choke and force push, which could easily archive the same thing at a distance), he was still just a smoking Sith.

"Do you believe that there was an intergalactic emperor named Darth Vader who fathered twins who would later kiss, even though you knew they were related?"

I would have laughed if the electricity followed along the roots and zapped them.

Yeah, stupid physics.


Yeah, that and stupid people not realizing that electricity follows the path of least resistance and at those voltages is completely random. Whether they be standing too close or commenting out their ass on an internet forum. The voltage is trying to equalize itself with the power plant, so the closer you are to where large voltages short to ground, the more likely you are to become part of the circuit. This video is barely different than watching a downed line spark.
