Tase me bro
WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – Billy Matheny, 509th Security Forces Squadron, tases a training participant April 22. Although very painful, the taser is not dependant on the pain to gain compliance, whether the subject submits to the pain is irrelevant. The muscles simply will not function while the taser is activated. Unlike other intermediate weapons used by law enforcement, such as pepper spray or expandable baton, recovery is immediate once the taser is turned off.
