Question: What part of "No side effects" means that it feels good?

Torture by electrocution with 50,000 volts is also police brutality
..........................................................................................
Its not electrocution, nor is it police brutality when used correctly. Please learn what the tool does before commenting on it. It transmits on the same brain frequency that controls motor function. It overrides the signal, causing the muscles to expand/contract. Once the cycle ends there is no side effects from it.
The 50k volts has nothing to do with anything. The amps is what can kill you.

If I did it to you on the street, you would want to sue the pants off of me.
I wonder why death isnt considered a side-effect of the tool?

All cops should have to taser themselves (Or be tasered) before they can actually go on the job. I think that woul help ALOT.

Is the possibility that someone might sue you worth more than a life?
Is any amount of money worth more than freedom?
What price do you personally place on that freedom? And what happens when the desire to stay out of a potential lawsuit becomes an acceptable reason for imprisonment? Torture? Killing?
What price liberty?
Mine has no price.

A Chicago medical examiner has ruled that shocks from a Taser were responsible for the death of a man in February, marking the first time that the electronic stun gun has been named as the primary cause of death.link

From my first link a couple of posts up

As a non cop the guy with the taser could conceivably take my firearm while convulsing on the street. I should shoot him just like you, right? Or I shouldnt even be armed in the first place as a mere non-cop?

If they'd done nothing and the guy had died in the fire, the city, the police department, and the fire department would likely all be facing lawsuits for not stopping him.
