interesting:
A Columbus, OH, police department officer safety memo, obtained by Gun Week, is raising alarms in law enforcement circles that criminals may be teaching one another how to defeat being shot by Tasers.
The memorandum was written after a July 15 incident in which a female Columbus officer confronted a stabbing suspect. After the suspect ignored repeated verbal commands, the officer shot the suspect with the Taser twice, and both probes made skin contact about 16 inches apart.
However, according to the memo, the suspect dropped to the ground and rolled. In the process, he broke both Taser wires, and thus broke the contact with the weapon, which stopped the electric charge. He then jumped up and ran away with the two probes still in his chest, according to the memo.
stop drop and roll :)
