The one cop attempted to do as you said.. but the suspect resisted arrest and grabbed the taser from him
I'm not sure why most police officers seem to want to use a taser instead of pepper spray. For starters if you tase someone on pavement/concrete, you risk the person falling and hitting their head and getting seriously injured. At this point, if a white cop tased a monkey and the monkey hit his head, the protesters would freak out about that, regardless of what occurred before hand.
I got sprayed with MK4 .2% a few years ago, as we had to get sprayed during out training and before we could carry it at work. It was BY FAR the most painful experience of my life! I'm talking a legit 9.9/10! A few people in my department actually panicked when sprayed, as the pain is so intense that you honestly don't know what to do.
We had a female officer run inside our training facility screaming like a lunatic and start taking all her clothes off. I guess she ended up in the hallway in her underwear and socks, and another female officer brought her into the bathroom and had her take a shower. Sadly she was a 220lb bull dyke, but it was funny regardless! LOL!
