And moon every passing cop...

I wonder how a little of that 5.3 bazillion SHU OC would do between the ole
cheeks...

Did you guys get to test the stuff yet?

Nope... my chief is too busy drooling over our new tasers to worry about
changing our OC supplier.

Yeah, they have been really popular around here as well.

No snot, no puking, no clean-up. If they don't comply, give 'em a couple
more seconds until they do.

Only downside is if the bad guy manages to break or pull the wires.

Nah...last time we "tested" it, was when we went through retraining and
was issued new (fresh) stuff. Cleared out the sinuses. Hmmmm....maybe
I should take a shot or two of that stuff before I dive. Maybe equalize
a little better.

Ours can also be used as stun guns... I figured that all of them were pretty
much the same. Interestingly, we had a news reporter doing a story on them
show up yesterday. She did an interview with our "Taser trainer", show how
they work on a specially designed target (muck like aluminum foil... it's a
pretty neat demonstration) and we managed to talk her and her cameraman into
taking a (very) short hit. IT was pretty amusing. Unfortunately, I didn't
get to see the final report. I'd guess that the video of them getting
shocked gets cut.

"A tickle".

Did she scream?

Do you guys still use PR24's or ASP batons?

I wouldn't exactly call it a scream... more like a squeal. It wasn't a very
pretty sound though.

The really interesting thing is that we got both of them at the same time.
They linked arms and each got a lead clipped to their clothes. I'm pretty
sure she didn't enjoy the experience, but she does have the ability to say
that she was the only one of all the reporters who have done stories that
was willing to take a hit. I don't imagine she'll be volunteering for that
aain anytime soon though.

Use? Not really. Carry? yep. IIRC, all the officers carry the
collapsible batons. I can't recall hearing of anyone using one in quite a
while. Of course, I can't recall hearing of anyone actually using a taser
yet either. We've had them for about 6 months now. Some of the officers
like the extra option.

I'm a civilian employee, so I don't use or carry any of this stuff. As a
matter of fact, I'm not even allowed to carry a firearm into the building.
That's not a big problem for me since I don't even have a firearm yet and
it's not like I'd have to wait a long time for the police to show up if I
needed them.
