Hi, I'm Michael, I'm a police officer.
I began my journey with the Chattanooga, Tennessee Police Department in 2012. And, even then we had to, as part of the academy requirements, get tased at the time of the TASER X26.
So we had two officers on each side of us holding our arms so you don't fall on your face. And they would have a clock pointing at you, and you could see the seconds going by as you got tased. To this day, I gotta say that was pretty painful. So I knew at that time the device worked as it was supposed to.
The clothing was a big problem, and something that was a little bit problematic. But now with the technological advances with the TASER X, how it can shoot through clothing and effectively hit the target, I wouldn't use any other device. That is the way to go.
And we, as police officers, do not like OC spray because it's going to spray you back in the face and get you. That TASER is just specifically for the target we're supposed to go after.
If I had to use that TASER in my personal life, I would definitely use it because I know it's effective. It works well as it's supposed to, and I would feel safe using it.
Once that thing's connected, there's no beating it.
