Thor Shield serves as a defense against a stun gun attack
We've all seen what happens when a human is hit by a stun gun. Taser guns work by shooting two electrodes into the body that form a circuit to transfer 50,000 volts of electricity. The shock is powerful enough to immobilize an individual instantly.
A company called G2 Consulting has developed a successful counter to these stun weapons. Thor Shield is made from a polyester fabric which is bonded with a conducted material. As a result, Thor Shield effectively loops the electricity back to the source. CNET.com writes:
Because Thor Shield is conductive, it can complete the circuit with probes without having the electricity pass through an individual's body. In a video submitted by G2--and not independently tested by CNET News.com--Greg Williams, G2's other co-owner, takes a jolt to the head from a stun gun but remains unfazed. He is wearing a cap made of the material, according to G2. He also remains nonchalant in a Thor Shield windbreaker after being repeatedly zapped.
G2 plans to sell the material to law enforcement agencies and the military only -- civilians need not apply. Law enforcement agencies have already contacted G2 in regards to the Thor Shield as there have been recent incidents where officers have had their stun gun taken by criminals and used against them. Officers wearing uniforms or vests made out of this material would be able to neutralize the possible threat.
Not surprisingly, Taser has declined to speak about the matter to either DailyTech, G2 or CNET.

If they can't taser you, they will shoot you or beat you unconcious.
Be carefull, they are not going to back down and walk away because they can't taser you, it will not achive any kind of victory.

I have mixed feelings about the Kerry clip. If you knew me, you would know I'm the first to try and bring people to light on several issues.
The speaker asked a few questions which he knew would bring attention- no biggie, you must ask stinging questions. My mixed feelings come in here- the police/security start to escort him out and he starts yanking around bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Dead weight buddy, otherwise your resisting. I understand why they cuffed him to make him leave. I don't think he should be arrested, I do think he should have been allowed to speak, I don't think he should have been tazered.
It was a borderline situation which took the turn when he started resisting them. : (

I can't wait for your response,
How have I DIRECTLY contributed to the 'serious trouble' you are in now?
What is the nature of this 'serious trouble'?
What have you done today to make sure that freedom of speech is never compromised again?
-------------------------
I am not an American, and will never set foot, invest or buy any American product untill your people have control of your country again, the way it should be. It may not be my country , but your negligence and lack of action affect me.
Anti taser means they just wont taser you, buying one could get you 'flagged', because buying one could imply that you are expecting to engage in an act where you may be tasered, implying you intend to break they law.
And hey, dumbass, you are implying that every situation that an officer uses a taser is going to be infornt of a crowd, real smart.

Yea, I am implying that an officer will use a TASER first before using his fucking BRAIN.....that's why people like you have NO-BRAINS. Wake up asshole and stop being a sheeple....

I asked you three questions.
How many of my questions did you answer?
How many did you avoid, you accused me of causing trouble in America, but when asked to explain yourself, have nothing.
At least I can ask my leader of my country a question, can you ask yours?
I am fully awake, far more than you could hope to be, you are insignificatn child who sits on the side of life waiting for other people to solve problems that affect you?
And you think you can outsmart a police officer with an anti taser vest, you got some growing up to do kid.
Come join me and my buddies next time the G8 have a meeting.
every person should have a taser. That may make those cops think twice.
What if every time the Germans were met with gunfire as they rounded up the jews? They would have found someone else to pick on real quick. The first step is admitting your an asshole

It wouldn't matter if there were, they'd just tazer you in the face, especially the most cowardly ones like women who shouldn't even be in the fuckin job, they constantly over compensate to try and better their male counterparts 'stories' of bravado, never met one who doesn't, their inadequacy lies in nature NOT their male counterparts sexist views.

Wonder if these electrically conductive fabrics would be as effective?
SILVER LINING GARMENTS
his silver-plated, stretchable, washable nylon mesh is electrically conductive. ... Made from a washable polyester fabric with conductive interwoven carbon fibers,
I think its called get your own taser. He should have brought backup. He didn't break any law, they can arrest all or none.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 299703
no, it looked like that kid against the world since the world pretty much was clapping for his arrest. Kind of sad if you ask me. The world doesn't really deserve any sympathy.
KMFDM
No pity for the masses.

Actually, if you go watch the video, two women man handle his arms really tight, you can tell on the video, and that would bother me too. So really, it was the security's fault. That was unnecessary.
Kerry is such a piece of shit. He should have gone down, told the cops to let him speak. Then it would be no big deal and nobody would hear of this incident. The first step is admitting your an asshole
There are two types of tasers: the wet and the dry; the wet version uses the projectiles while the dry uses contacts that must be placed against skin [or clothing] to be effective.
Since they are both based upon electricy... wouldn't anything that insulates against a shock work? I'm thinking a neoprene wetsuit should certainly stop the dry type and possibly the wet as well if the electrodes couldn't penetrate the rubber. Nothing to back this theory up... just common sense and basic science.
