Taser

to the PARAMEDIC KNOW-IT-ALL or what ever. When a person is being shocked by a taser....the whole world can touch them and they will feel NOTHING! I have seen a hundred plus officers get tased, and they were all held on too by 2 other officer. One on each arm and they were holding tight. NO SHOCK! The taser is 50,000 volts, but it is less then 1 joule. They only way to get shocked when an officer is tasing someone, it to hit the wires. That is what happened to Officers Doyle, she came in contact with the wires during the shock. Go back to the meat wagon and leave the police work to the POLICE!!!!!

LMPD officers complain they get no respect, but then they assume all deputy sheriffs are idiots, and they call EMS professionals (EMTs and paramedics) meat wagon riders? Remember, the EMS folks might save your sorry butt one day!
