TWO SHOCKS ARE BETTER THAN ONE

摘要

Although it usually takes me several times to remember a mistake enough to correct my conduct, I can vividly remember some 50 years ago sticking a key into a wall outlet and my Dad wisely informing me, "That's called electricity." Although I have had a few run-ins with the magic juice that flows through metal since then, I have never again stuck anything in a wall socket that didn't look like a plug. If only all lessons were so well remembered. It's no great surprise that electricity was turned to as a base for a non-lethal tool for law enforcement to use as an alternative to deadly force. Remember some of the tools that looked like cattle prods that were around for law enforcement in the 1980s? Although Hollywood made them look like the magic fist that put all the bad guys down, they were mostly less effective than portrayed.
