      - but somehow nobody noticed a dart remained stuck in his head, until he later went to hospital complaining of a persistent headache.
      <Man goes to hospital>Hello, I've got a persistent headache and I have no idea why
      <Policed in attendance>He looks fine to us
      <Hospital>Hmm, maybe it's related to the huge dart sticking out of your skull that is embedded in your brain?
      <Man>Ah, yes now you mention it I was tasered earlier, maybe that has something to do with it
      <Police>Tulip, we didn't notice that massive dart sticking out of his head. D'oh

        What worries me is the UK police using them, in some areas I believe it is being considered.

        Some criminals don't freeze when ordered, their mistake. However some are tazered and shot without warning which I feel is wrong as lethal force should only be used when a dangerous person fails to comply with orders.

            wow, I never realised the darts had much penetrative power.

            I always thought the idea was to make a temporary circuit, then zap you.

              Last weekend at Larry’s Pistol & Pawn Shop I was looking for a little
              something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt
              pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be
              short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on an assailant. The idea
              is to allow my wife — who would never consider a gun —–adequate
              time to retreat to safety. ————-WAY TOO COOL!!
              Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded in two
              triple-a batteries and pushed the button. Nothing! I was
              disappointed. But then I read (yes, ‘read’) that if I pushed the button AND
              pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I’d get the blue arch
              of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs and I’d know it
              was working. Awesome!!! (Actually, I have yet to explain to Toni what that
              burn spot is on the face of her microwave). Okay, so I was home alone
              with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn’t be all that bad with
              only two triple-a batteries, right?!! There I sat in my recliner, my cat
              Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the
              directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a
              flesh and blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie
              (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it.
              She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife
              to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it
              would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts
              and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of
              my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said
              that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a
              two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of
              bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your
              assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer
              than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
              So, I’m sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one
              side as to say, ‘don’t do it,’ reasoning that a one-second burst
              from such a tiny little ole thing couldn’t hurt all that bad. I decided to
              give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the
              prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY #%&?@#£ MOTHER OF GOD,
              WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ..What the F#+&%............
              I’m pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up
              in the recliner, and body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and
              over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position,
              with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles
              nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest
              position, and tingling in my legs.
              You should know, that if you ever feel compelled to ‘mug’ yourself with a taser,
              there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself.
              You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a
              violent thrashing about on the floor. SON-OF-A-… that hurt like hell!!! A
              minute or so later (I can’t be sure, as time was a relative thing at that
              point), I collected what little wits I had left,
              sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the
              mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there??? My triceps, right
              thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been
              shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I’m still looking
              for my testicles!! I’m offering a significant reward for their safe return.
              Still in shock
              Earl
