I say might, because all three involved people on PCP, and I'm not sure it would have worked as advertised. Those guys certainly didn't respond to pain, because in one case I accidentally dislocated the suspect's elbow, and he was use the flapping arm as a club.<br /><br />The only thing that worked was eight officers pinning them through sheer weight.<br /><br />If someone won't go down after you "stab" them in the back of the thigh with the end of a nightstick, I don't see the benefit, and I do see the possibility of delivering a jolt to another officer.<br /><br />OT: after accepting my URL for several days, Google has again insisted that it contains "illegal characters"<br /><br />I also don't see them being effective on people wearing winter clothing.<br /><br />I realize that I have prejudice against the concept because it is too similar to the cattle prods that were used in the South for too many years.Bryanhttp://whynow.dumka.us/noreply@blogger.com
