1,000,000 volt stun gun - collect all four!
Sometimes, 500,000 volts just isn't enough. You know, for when your intended target is younger than 79 years old or perhaps is bigger than a 5'1", 160 lb. 82 year old woman suffering from dementia. Citizen groups challenging your police force's use of 50,000 volt weapons? Hah! You'll show them!
Now, for those times were you may need to take down, say, an elephant, the good people at We Got Security dot com will be happy to sell you the Firestorm 1,000,000 volt stun gun! Yes indeed, next time you're patrolling the airport and get a call about an escaped circus animal, you will now be SAFE! The Firestorm collectible stun gun has not 500,000, not 800,000, but ONE MILLION attacker-stopping volts! And did I mention that it's collectible? It comes in four gorgeous colours, and is shaped like a "piece of art or a flashlight", so you can surprise a maurading rhinocerous. Who would suspect a hot million volts coming from a piece of art? Not me! AND - it's also a flashlight so you can actually see your target, instead of trying to guess whether it's an insane crackhead or a frustrated and agitated foreign national who's been stranded in an international airport for 10 hours! Can it get any cooler?
But wait - there's more! Perhaps you don't want to get so close to that elephant, grandma, or war protester. What if you'd like to incapacitate someone from a nice, safe 100 feet away? Well now you can! Taser introduces the XREP - eXtended Range Electronic Projectile, combining blunt impact with Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation. I don't know about you, but I'm so excited that I could just get down on the ground and convulse! Next time a cop in riot gear has a 12-gauge shotgun pointed at you, don't be afraid - you might just get hit with one of these little beauties instead of a bullet. A word to the wise demonstrator - don't try to grab the XREP and rip it off of you:
Another innovative and unique feature of the XREP nose is the reflex engagement electrode. A normal reaction to the pain of a projectile impact is for the subject to grab at the impact site. If the subject tries to grab or disconnect the XREP projectile, the reflex engagement electrodes complete a circuit allowing TASER NMI to discharge from the Nose Electrodes, through the subject’s body, out to the hand that grabbed the XREP. This creates a significant spread that allows the XREP pulses to affect a large body mass, causing overpowering Neuro Muscular Incapacitation.
This amazing (crowd control) technology will be released for pilot testing in the fall of 2007 (that's now - woot!), and should be ready for production release just in time for the US 2008 Presidential election. Could you plotz? I know I could!
(H/T to Million-Volt Taser Pimp Billy, who made an appearance in The Galloping Beaver's comments. Don't taze me, bro!)

An interesting article today.
Three-quarters of people hit with RCMP Tasers were unarmed: reports
Love that "compliance" line there....
Couple examples in this article...
Yup. And a fabulous blog post I saw today.
Tasers, Videos and The Death of Robert Dziekanski
Really, what about those that cannot speak? With the significant increase, and willingness on the part of many police to use this electroshock, who will protect those who are for whatever reason unable to comply?
Chilling. Heartbreaking thought.
Edit: Another one.
At the top of that page in the link there are ads for the city Police.... "wear the badge, protect with pride. "
Indeed.
Ok. One more edit, adding to that last story. Theres more......
Powers that be, powers of three, keep me strong during this insanity......
Should I act surprised?
or would that look suspicious?
Everything's cheaper than it looks.
Just stay calm citizen
Think good thoughts.
Or we can declare you an enemy of the state

It's a shame
That IE functionality is very, very limited from where am I currently posting, and for good reason I suppose, but I did have something special in mind to post in reply.
Alas, can't do it here. Will have to wait for 2 or 3 hours. :(
Everything's cheaper than it looks.
They live inside my head...
