One decent kick and the dog was gone anyway. See how he bounced off the officer? Not really that convincing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Fact is if this had happened to me when I was on the sheriffs department I would have shot this dog.
A tazer can pull out - obviously thats what happened here. Dont for one minute think that this dog is not a dangerous dog. Just because he did not plant a full mouth grip on the officer on the first try.
Tazer's actually shoot two small darts that are attached by wife to the device to feed the electric shock into the perp. You have about 15 feet of wire, so if the perp is able to get out of that range, the wire will come out, as Ed observed. ( the officer failed to advance to keep control distance with the attacker, he needs some remedial training with his equipment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> )

After “riding the lightning” for 5 seconds I will have to say that getting Tased just plain stinks! That said…….
One of our guys is animal crazy with the Taser. We had a loose Rott that was terrorizing a neighborhood for about a week when this officer saw him walking down the street. He Tased him …. After the first 5 second burst ended the Rott charged him and got juiced again. This repeated 4 times before the Rott gave up and was able to be noosed.
Same officer….same Taser unit about a week later got a call of a deer that ran through the front window of an office supply store and was stuck inside. The officer decided that he would Tase the deer, grab a leg, and drag him out before the 5 second cycle ended. Unfortunately the first 5 second cycle ended about 3 seconds early due to the batteries being drained from the Rott incident. The deer came to…..kicked our guy in the shoulder and put him out on workman’s comp for 3 weeks. The deer ended up jumping back out the window.
I hate to hear it when one of our own gets injured.
But, this is funny. It also points out the problems with tazers. You have to get too close to use them effectively, LEO's think they can "taze" and they have a magic wand in their hand, they thing ends up in their hand when their service weapon ought to be there, and as every form of compliance, it fails all too often.
We have had SEVERAL people, with both probes in and new batteries, withstand being tazed.
I for one won't carry the thing. I like distance, pepperball, bean bad, or PSD. At some point we have to put hands on and no electronic devise has been invented to step up to the plate and put cuffs on the perpetrator, sooo, it benefits the LEO's to be good in arrest techniques, something I think is being lost.
OK there's my soapbox tirade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
