"your gonna get tazed!"
Sounds like a bluff to me considering he just had a failed tazer attempt.

He had an X2, which has 2 shots and they carry additional cartridges.
And more obviously...cops don't bluff when it comes to shooting anything at you. They'll shoot you with whatever they got.

They can also dry stun. For those unawarez they can just poke you with the end of the taser gun and zap you.
Pro tip. If you cops are dealing with you and they start putting gloves on, you are reaching the end of your warnings. They are getting ready to escalate to the next use of force level and get physical. At this point is it up to you if you go to jail with your clothes messed up and skin scrapped on the concrete or not. So don't catch any extra charges or turn a short afternoon visit to the station into a week long jail stay because the circuit judge just left and won't be back for a week.

As a general rule of thumb, arguing with cops, running from cops, attacking cops, or being in any other way aggressive/combative to cops is pretty much NEVER a smart decision.

Or you could be like one of friends from freshman year in college, who ran AFTER he gave the police his ID lo (he was just getting an underage drinking citation)

Dude was outrunning police with his hands cuffed. Impressive.

Not impressive tbh. Cops are slow and have a lot of gear on. And are usually pretty fat.

u/ObamasBoss Jun 12 '23
They don't need to full sprint. They will let you sprint and wear yourself out. They will catch up a minute later and not be as winded as the runner.

Never said they needed to sprint. Was just stating that they aren’t fast

I watched a dude do this in front of my apartment 10 years ago. The cop was way over weight and had no chance of catching him and his partner was 100 yards away. Then the runner tripped on a tree root and fucked his face up. You could hear the whole apartment complex go "OOHHHHH" in unison.

u/WONDER-WOMAN1971 Jun 08 '23
That was my first thought. Hummmm dumbass trying to run away from the officer is going to get tazed.

The ranged prongs of tasers are notoriously unreliable. A great tool when they work but they could use a lot of improvement. My favorite was a guy sitting on the counter acting follish at a convenience store. Eventually cop says he will tase him. Everyone is all yelling and animated. Cop shoots the prongs and tases him. The suspect and the cop just look at eachother. The guy feels his chest and super calmly asks "is it working"? The cop replies "no, I don't think it is working" in an equally calm and cooperative tone. Like it was right from a cartoon, they go straight back to yelling and waving hands all around.

THOSE people again…. As usual… they’re always committing crimes then running away

u/jonboy192001 Jun 08 '23
Even if he didn't get tased he was eventually going to fall because he's handcuffed

So, tasing someone who is handcuffed is completely against tasers training programs and every SOP I have ever seen.

I tried to run cuffed once. Didn’t make it far. They also tried to charge me with theft by taking for the cuffs 😂

If this dude was a minority, he would have been on the ground with a knee on his back the whole time. They might as well have asked him to "please put on the cuffs and sit in the car. I'll be there in a minute."

How is that not a violation of the use of force? Guy is handcuffed, running away yes but handcuffed. He’s not fighting and can’t fight.

Why police don't have handcuffs with trackers or remote controlled Tasers ?

u/ggRavingGamer Jun 12 '23
Why don't cops use lassos to catch them ehile running? That would also be funny as hell. I guess those things are not really effective?

This kinda happened recently. It was a random guy on horseback in town. He called 911 to say he tied a guy up to a tree with a rope and the cops need to come get him. The 911 operator had to hear it again. The dude just ride off then. Someone did an interview with him.
Cops arrested a guy while on horseback and tied his cuffs with a long rope from the horse. Was a valid arrest method, hit people were not amused. They didn't have a car with them and the station was near by.

That man really decided that being a fugitive was better than whatever he was getting arrest for.

They should build airtags into handcuffs for the ones they can’t catch.
