Of all the taser deployments I’ve witnessed none have worked. My previous shift partner tased this guy multiple times w/no effect (probes got stuck in his clothing) the suspect said he was glad we didn’t use the baton. His reason, “those things hurt”.
I fear we, as LE, have become too reliant on the taser.
