Agonizer/MP3 Combo

Remember the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror? You know, the one where Spock had a beard and everyone carried an agonizer?

We live in that universe now. Taser, inc. now sells a combo taser holster and ipod holder. Taser has also begun marketing to women, with tasers selling in "fashion red" and "hot pink" to appeal to that market segment.

Sorry, never used either drug.

I've seen lots of Taser videos including some of people on PCP and others experiencing excited delirium. During the activation period, assuming good dart contacts, the subject has little voluntary muscle control, immediately falls down, and certainly cannot get up. The PCP / ED suspects were recognizable by the fact that they would immediately get up and keep fighting immediately after the Taser ride ended, as opposed to most people who are shaky and need to catch their breath (and/or scream a bit).

The closest I've ever seen to a successful Taser resist (a video that Taser uses in training) was a martial arts instructor and Marine Corps veteran with high pain tolerance and enormous will. He took a little less than half a step before falling over.
