Cop Tasers Themselves

I think their pride was probably hurt too!

MADISON, Wis. - A police officer has been reprimanded for accidentally discharging a Taser, causing an injury — to the police officer.

According to a summary of the investigation, officers are required to make sure no air cartridges are loaded before testing the Taser gun at the start of each shift. It's the air cartridges that propel the Taser's prongs, which deliver a jolt of electricity when they strike a target.

The officer's hand was injured, police spokesman Joel DeSpain said.

I like the title of your blog!
And looks like this cop got two "injuries" for the price of one: an injured hand and an injured ego!
Thanks for sharing!

Funny how when a cop tasers the wrong person they day but when a cop tasers himself he gets punished?? I think tasers are a great way to protect, serve and be socially responsible. The key is being responsible not power hungry. It is a great method of non lethal self defense. My favorite tasers are at www.diyselfdefense.com
