morning fpd.

No work today, or is this the start of the day

Oh no.......I got off work at 0500, but have a trip to Ft. Wayne today to the hyperbaric chamber to see if I'm going to be able to ever dive again. So I'm just wasting time now waiting for that time and the other peeps to get here. Starbucks caffine is like crack (yes I said crack)

Morning fpd. Many crazies last night?

Had one at the end of the shift but he is now resting peacfully in jail.

 

[EvilleDoug]

I'm glad I'm not resting peacefully in jail.

 

[1032JBT]

I'm sure he is wishing he wasn't either.........but sometimes that's the consequence for being stupid. He made his choice and played the game........he was just unaware he was playing by our rules.

 

[EvilleDoug]

did you ever find a use for the stickers?

 

[jclark]

fpd, have you ever shot someone with your taser and accidentally shot them in the ballsac?
If you have, I bet it was friggin funny!

 

[EvilleDoug]

i wish i could yell at people and taser them because they don't listen

 

[jclark]

Has anyone ever been shot with a less than lethal round?
I'll betcha it hurts worse than a paintball at point blank range.

I'n the ballsac? That's where I would tase them.......right in the biscuits.

 

[EvilleDoug]

that would be funny, but then you have to remove them...ewwwww

 

[1032JBT]

I have stratigically placed them on my clipboard and ticket holder so they can be seen without being seen if ya catch my drift.......thx again.

The only odd place I have ever hit someone with it was a female in the boob, which then in the rustling of the lock up and falling down promptly fell out for all the world to see. I did however at an instructor level class see a guy catch a barb in the taint........he was less than pleased.

It is fun to deploy it........but that 5 seconds of fun turns into hours of paperwork.

I, so far, am the only one to use the less lethal on a person. I hit the guy in the left thigh with 4 rapid fire shots. He was so drunk and high he actually laughed at me and stated "Shoot me again m'effer". I did......with the Taser which for him didn't work out so well.

There is a certain high level instructor that has an open invitation to anyone that will take a 5 second drive stun to the sac he will give them a free X26.........no takers that I am aware of.

did you laugh after hitting him with the buzz juice.

I laugh too easy and I'm sure I would have been screaming with laughter

Not really.........the watermelon with a baseball bat sound I heard when the back of his head hit the drivway took all the funny out of it. He ended up having to go to Methodist with a head bleed. But honestly as violently as he was acting, our next option was just putting him down. The Taser was THE last ditch effort to not have to kill him.


Now the boob shot..........yeah, I laughed a little on that one.

Pistol?

 

[EvilleDoug]

yea, head hitting the ground is never funny, regardless of who it is.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to have to make life and death dicisions on a daily basis. Especially when the peron being an arse is under the influence, not in his or her right mind.

 

[1032JBT]

Pistol?

out of an 870........it's actually a wonderful and usefull tool. Zero recoil and point accurate out to about 50 yards. We have used them to break out windows too for a guy that was barricaded in his car following a pursuit. We then introduced a K9 into said "open" window.........instant karma




Yep...........I own it

As bad as it can be sometimes.......we just have to always remember that THEY make the descion for us, we just have to decide if we can actually do it. Thus far I haven't had an issue.

 

[EvilleDoug]

I just had a wonderful idea...for the next PW shoot, if it happens, you can bring along the taser and tase Jimmy in the sac....bring along the trainer guy and jimmy gets a new gun
