Three taser shots don't stop suspect (gun works fine) [LINK]
Taser deployment #1 useless: Subject "...grabbed the taser wires and ripped them out..."
Taser deployment #2 useless: Subject "...was again able to rip off the taser probes..."
Taser deployment #3 useless: Subject "...was able to roll and break the wires between the Taser’s probes and gun..."
[Excuse me a second - LOL, ROTFLMAO, LOL. Bwahahahahaha... Sorry.]
Old fashioned gun worked fine: "...I drew my firearm and ordered the defendant to the ground. The defendant finally complied..."
Note -> Police firearm works perfectly first time (even though not fired!!!).
Nobody hurt.
Now, what exactly did the taser accomplish in this incident beside waste time and increase risk?
Please read this previous post again: The 'facilitative effect' of tasers [LINK]
Conclusions:
1) Taser don't even replace guns.
2) Some subjects obviously don't take tasers seriously.
3) Guns don't have to be fired to be perfectly effective.
