4th Division Flex Officers Injured During Struggle

"Officer Downs deployed her taser on the combative suspect, but the taser appeared to have little affect. Due to the close quarters struggle, Officer Doyle quickly became entangled in the taser wires deployed at the suspect. Each time the taser was reengaged, Officer Doyle endured the majority of the shock."

So, the story is mistaken? The shock certainly CAN pass through to anyone in contact - a Taser is the same principle as an AED, just not as strong. It won't always happen, but it can.

And if they were too close for OC, they were too close for a Taser. What do they teach you all with regards to Taser?

Review the Grape Street Incident in CA and see that that incident could have been you...Learn that there were problems that night get over it and learn from it you came out ok but you dont get many times to repeat this type of incident and live to tell about it! Stay safe
