Police brutality FTL. He was leaving, there's no need to grab him and Taser him.

Hey, I guess that validates the unnecessary use of the Taser, right?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, presuming they are using standard rechargeable batteries, which probably hold a charge of up to 1000mA (1 ampere) though reading the Wikipedia article on Tasers it is likely they use a 9V battery too. Since a shock of 2.1-3.6mA is sufficient for "stunning" it's likely those batteries could go for a VERY long time without fully discharging.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm sorry if I want to try and inject humor into the thread.

Don't you mean "blowing up?" After all, after this incident, that's probably an equivalent amount of police force required for breaking up a meth lab.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

A Taser is a "less-lethal" weapon which delivers a minor electric shock to someone through a dart or pair of darts (small suckers) attached to wires. They have a trigger to allow the user to deliver the shock, which is usually just enough to incapacitate ("stun") the victim.

It's actually the amperage that does the trick, not the voltage.

How ya doing, buddy?

Police then yelled for people to go home while filling paths home with teargas.

At least no one was shot in the eye with a pepper spray projectile and died.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Devil's advocate: for every 1 bad cop or story of police stupidity, there's probably 500 positive stories out there.

Hahaha too bad there were like 8 cops.
