Teen Girl tased f

These days, most departments are actively discouraging officers from grappling with subjects, and encouraging use of the Taser instead. Reasoning: statistics show reduced injuries to both officers and subjects via Taser rather than physical subdual. This tends to reduce both liability suits from injury, and workman's comp claims, and keeps insurance cheaper, and most departments keep a sharp eye on that bottom line.



The downside is the occasional Taser-related fatality, which are usually explained away as being "caused" by existing medical problems (bad heart, drugs, etc).


That's where the balance currently stands anyway, agree with it or no.

I'd like to see that study. I would say if you have someone that's a threat sure, but fleeing girls not so much,.


And does it include the newer generation of tasers that affect both the sensory nervous system and motor nervous system.


These cause a siezing action of the subject to the point they can't brace naturally when falling.

I dunno bud. I'm just saying that is the "party line" these days, the platform most Dept's base their policy on.

51. 100yds was the standard at the time, I think for the 84 Olymipcs it went to meters. Wiki it. We ran, well everyone ran, 100 yds. Like I posted, there were many sub 10 second sprinters during those years in high school.
Between 1979 and 1981 I ran numerous 10.0 to 9.80s. Pretty far off world and olympic records at the time..
220/200 record was mid 19s as evidenced by Carl Lewis.
Documented records only count at nationally recognized events. You also have to back them up within a margin. Not many national events in Satellite Beach FL. Even invite only events like the Florida Relays in the late 70s were barley covered and used mostly as football data mines.
Then coaches would find you and have "conversations" about your college plans. I tried out for the Gators, but at 150 lbs and on my way to my first knee operation there was no way I was getting papered in.

Neither one of you guys impress me.

My German Shepherd could outrun a cottontail.

Catch one in your teeth, and I'll be impressed.
