This is where we all feel sorry for Russell


Poor Russell.
For training yesterday, the whole PD got tazered--at least the police chief did it just like everyone else. I don't really understand why this is necessary for training--I think it is for empathy and so the tazer does not get used too hastily. But then, it seems like the same logic would mean he had to be shot by a gun, too.
Anyway, Russell says the three seconds was a lifetime and that he believes the pain surpasses childbirth. Probably true--I'm sure every muscle in your body tensing up and convulsing (? I think they convulse, but I may be wrong) is pretty bad.
I do not envy him!

I like that they did it out in front of City Hall, so everyone could witness. Looks like fun ;)

Oh man! That looks painful! Brett had that done to him once, but I don't think it was the full-fledged shock that your hubby got. I'm glad he survived! :-)
