If the tasers where more potent the potential criminal wouldn't have yanked, so the poor officer wouldn't have to shoot him 12 times. THAT'S IS THE COST OF NON LETHAL WEAPONS
That's kind of true. Tasers kind of suck and fail to reliably stop people. Those two cops who got shot in Tulsa last month couldn't stop the guy with their taser. There was a recent incident in Chicago where they tased a stabbing suspect who fell but got back up and grabbed the taser cop and started to stab her before the other cops could finally unjam their pistol or get a clear angle to shoot. I don't know what the solution is, it might be a fundamental design flaw, I guess where the tines hit the body makes a big difference. Seems like an ineffective device best used to torture uncooperative students in front of John Kerry, or black people with their hands up. There was a jaywalker in Oregon who got tased, grabbed the taser, then got shot. A black guy who cops found sleeping in a drive thru ended up grabbing a taser after getting tased and ran away with it, cops shot him in the back.
They do, but unless both tines are able to puncture both layers of clothing and your skin, you won't feel anything except maybe a slight shock of you grab the wires to pill then out.

Two layers and baggy clothing makes you invincible to tazers.
I thought they pierced hard, cool to know
Layered cloth was the most ubiquitous armor in medieval times.
Also metal was expensive and heavy but I get the point

? What k*rry has to do with this?
The "don't tase me bro" incident.
It's a great deep cut

I think the efficacy of the tazer is really a red herring to the problem, which is our country is socially and economically rotted out.
Absolutely. More body cams and better tasers aren't gonna fix police or all the systems around that.
They would perceive the sound of his body falling to the ground as a threat to them and shoot him while he was unconscious on the ground.
