I Want to Be Tasered
I want to be tasered.
I only want to be tasered if I can make some cash from it.
Police stormed a house and tasered an innocent man. He sued and the insurance company settled out of court for $100,000. He was sleeping on the couch and he was awaken by the taser gun. He was then tasered two more times by police.
So he was tasered 3 times and he received $100,000. Here is the link: Link
Would you allow yourself to be tasered 3 times if you would receive $100,000 for the experience?

i laughed after reading this.
i probably wouldn’t want to be tasered, even if for money.
I’m a pain wimp. No. Haha.
not three times… once maybe but very quickly…
hell yeah. i touched an electric fence for 20 dollars
man, i’m too much of a wimp, so no.
but that’s insane.
I want to be tasered by the statue of liberty. In fact, I’d do that for free to have something to brag about.
Can you post a video of your tasering experience?
Hmmm sure if I didn’t know what was going to happen. I think it would be harder to do if I knew it was coming.
Totally.
At my high school a disabled kid was tasered for not calming down. I believe he was 15. He wasn’t being violent towards anyone. Everyone barely cared. And sure. I’d do it.
I didn’t even know it was legal to taser a sleeping man. I thought the taser could only be used if you were threatened…
And no, I don’t think I would want to be tasered. But I only weigh like 100 pounds so three shocks would probably kill me.
hell yes i would.
(i need the moolah)
Are you serious .. those things are horrible!
Absolutely, but I would do it for free if a couple of 17 year old Asian girls would remove the taser barbs and feed me soup until I was all better.
Which would take about six months.
Maybe…
no you can die from that shit…think dan
Oh, probably!
Yeah, I would.
Only ’cause I’m desperate for cash. I can always recover from the shock^^
probally.
I’m tired of hearing about police using tasers when it’s not called for. The man was freakin sleeping.
I’ve been tased by one of those like old lady purse ones before. So not as strong and no barbs with it. Got me in the butt and left a nice welt.
Sure, why not.
No. I am a wimp when it comes to pain.
I’m not a fan of pain but being a college student having to take out loans I’d be willing.
@KechiNeko244 - I’m pretty sure it’s not, just as it wouldn’t be legal to beat him with a stick (another nonlethal method of subdual.)
I’m also wondering if anyone who has actually been tasered full-force would submit to it three times for money. That’s the real test – if you’d do it again, not if you think you could do it for money without having experienced it. The opinions of those who don’t know what it’s like are somehow not as convincing to me.
Totally!
Weeding out the strong ones from the wimps ay Dan?
Absolutely. I don’t like pain, but for that kind of swag? Oh, yeah.
ROFL! Experience. . well, I heard they hurt. . and if they do not leave any injuries and marks, yes
x0x MK
I WANT TO BE TAZED!!! NO money needed. Hit me with your best shock! Haha
ya
Absolutely. I’ve been through much worse and gained much less…
I’d have to think about that.
I touched an electric fence by accident. The bad thing was, I was attaching a metal chain to a horse’s halter so it went through her too. She respected me that day.
As long as i can say “don’t tase me bro” while they are doing it.
For $100,000? Sure, why not?
I can’t believe there are so many people saying no. So yes, it would suck for that moment and maybe a min or so after, but how is that not worth $100,000? That’s pretty easy money. I mean, I’d rather be tazered then get sprayed in the face with mace or pepper spray, that shit lasts waay longer.
And at the very least, at least you get the opportunity to say “Don’t taze me bro” right before they hit you with it.
@Chesschick01 -
Dammit you beat me to it!
Maybe, but I heard you could die of it so…I don’t know…
Police are going crazy with their tasers!! Heck yes I’d do it for $100,000.
$100,000?
Definitely. That’s a house, the rest of the car loan, and maybe even some left over.
No way I’d wuss out with those kinds of opportunities.
I don’t doubt that it’d hurt, but it’s merely a physical pain and not a spiritual one, so I can’t imagine I’d regret it.
Plus if it meant we could run away to New York together, I bet my Kirby would cuddle with me until I stopped hurting from it.
Uh, YES. Duh.
…
hmm. yes.
One time maybe, but three, no way…
no way! I’m terrified of pain!
YES! Money for college lol.
heck yeah, fork it over, i just want the cash in the bank first….
Maybe. $100,000 would wreak havoc on my taxes.
Hell no.
Xo
yesss
IDK, its not supposed to be lethal, but still it could kill.
No, I wont do it.
LMFAO. A friend of mine debated asking a cop to be tasered, for nada. He just wanted to know how it felt.
No.
hell yeah
Maybe…if I didn’t know it was coming, sure. I can’t do stuff like that if I know it’s going to happen. I’d be so anxious waiting. Haha.
where do i sign up ? it would probably help my a-fib.
Is it just me or are cops more taser-happy these days? I’m sure there’s a “frying bacon” joke in here but I’m lazy.
add one more zero an i would do it for 6 times hehehehe
Depends on how hard up I am.
Hells yeah. I know it hurts really, really bad but 100 grand is ALOT of money.
My first instinct says no because I hate pain. However, $100,000 is a lot of money and it will come in handy if I want to go to grad school. Ok, I’ll do it. No pain, no gain.
Very bad question. Quite obviously, few people here have the requisite background to even begin to understand whether or not this case was settled properly … or poorly. An uniformed opinion is next to useless. Also … the question itself makes no logical sense. The man in question … had no choice. Or did you merely ask it … to plumb the depths of greed in the immature?
it’s not everyday when you get tasered and actually get money out of it
i guess it depends on how much electrical current you can withstand.
i knew a person that got tased the first time for 30 seconds and then a second time for a minute and got a heart attack. he was pretty built, too.
For that money, I’d be willing to taser Fed Phelps until he loses all the water content of his body.
If I’m sleeping. Sure Hahah
That way, I couldn’t feel the fear that much for the first try
I hate those fuckin punk ass police, these days all they do is taser people for the fuck of it. Honestly between being Maced or Tasered, Im not sure what would be worse but they are both pretty horrible. Call me crazy, but I’d even venture to say I’d rather be shot in certain places in my body than that.
don’t tase me bro!
@YOUNGAZNTIGER - There are youtube videos of campus police tasering a UCLA student in the school library because he refused to show his student ID or allow himself to be kicked out of the library in a timely manner.
Thank god for camera phones. I just wonder how more abusive that case would have been if they knew that no one could be watching.
@huginn - Yeah tell me about it, not too long ago when I was still a student at SDSU, the faggot ass campus cops got caught on a camera phone tasering a student for skateboarding on campus. Holy shit! these guys are some yellow belly bastards, that are quick to pull punk shit like that. I’ve had my fair share of bullshit run ins with the law as well, but I wont get into that…
ahahahahaha hell yeah, thats effing awsum.
I’ve been tased three times before for free. There are videos (not of me but of my friends since I was working the camera) a few pages back on my blog.
Are you kidding? Hec yes I would!
yeah, probably. but i’ve never been tasered before so I don’t know how much it hurts.
$100,000 is a lot of money though. I can deal with a great amount of pain for that. lol
<3
make it 5 times for 50,000 and you have yourself a deal!
imagine how many people you could feed with $100,000
Why did they storm his house in the first place?
Is this a taxable amount? Or do I get to keep all $100,000? On second thought, who cares since I’d get tased for $50K.
Oh my fucking god–how did cops survive before tasers? I hope they lost their jobs.
If I knew with 100% certianty that I would get the $100,000, then hell yes, I’d go for being tasered.
But the report mentioned that this guy had a extensive criminal record, so perhaps the police really had good reason to be alarmed.
@whataboutbahb - lol
Can I let them keep tasing me for extra dough? Easy money, easy money.
@whataboutbahb - I was surprised no one said it before we did!
OF COURSE! then i wouldn’t have to work at all until i finish school!
Tase me, bro! Tase me!
why not! hahaha
In my current financial state, I would do it without question.
If I knew the exact moment I was going to be tasered…. No. If it would be a total surprise. BRING IT ON BABY!!!
Hm. I’d consider it, but I’m really anti pain.
Some of the questions you ask could get you tasered even by me.
Nope. However, I would take one taser for 1 Million. And if taxes were not taken from it.
Only if the Power Rangers were the ones tasering me. They are so cool.
Yes, i need the money.
4 days til Houston dan!
: that’s like the story i heard where the police broke into the home of an innocent couple suspected to be buying marijuana from the internet and shot both of their dogs. one of them was running away!
I don’t think I’d willingly allow myself to be tasered for money. If I happened to be wrongfully tasered I would definitely accept it though.
Nah, but I’d definitely think about it for a million.
YES YES YES!!!!
Can I keep the gun?
Haha, the question should’ve been, “Would you taser me for $100,000?”
I suppose so, yeah.
maybe
Depends…. Do I get to keep he whole $100k, or does the IRS confiscate half?
hell yeah. no question. actually would consider being shot 3 times with a regular gun if i could choose the spots. i really could use $100,000.
absolutely!
Maybe… I am just so impressed with that picture.. lol
Its awesome!
I have been. I don’t think it’s that bad.
not for money. btw
I’d soooooo do it.
WHats a little physical pain? Thats a down payment on a house, paying off my car, a few shopping trips, my college tuition, AND a huge chunk towards my savings.
Sigh…..what I would give for 100,000. I dont even need 1 million..
Maybe for that much.
Don’t taze me, bro!
The police have been using tasers way too much, and cases like this there was no need for that kind of force used against the sleeping man. If he’d had a heart condition, the electric shock could have killed him.
But excessive force and torture are characteristics of the embryonic police state in which we find ourselves living today–George W. Bush’s legacy to all of us Americans.
hmmm..maybe…I can sure use the $ to pay for law school…lol
For no particular reason, I was actually thinking about this last night.
I would totally let myself be tasered 3 times for $100,000.
@ghosthouse - I’m not entirely sure what Bush has to do with over-use of tasers.
the taser doesn’t exactly kill you, does it?
I think anyone who complains about police tazering people too much, should consider the alternative (bullets). Which would you rather have the police use? Jee, why do we even have police if they can’t enforce the law? Bunch of crybabies… you wouldn’t be complaining if a normal guy was causing a ruckus and he got tazered, and it turned out he had a bomb, would you? Get in the right frame of mind.
With that being said, let’s put this in perspective. Would I let you kick me in the balls as hard as you could, three times, for 100,000 dollars?
Probably not.
Maybe.
100 Grand? That’s a lot of groceries. A couple of incredibly painful jolts… hmm.
Sure, I’d take it. And then I’d buy a new pair of pants cuz I’d probably piss myself. Ouch. lol
Um… Toughy… NO. Not ever. lol I may be crazy, but not that much.
No way – I have a cochlear implant and don’t want to think what all that voltage could do to it… or me… ^^;;;
If I knew it wasn’t going to do permanent damage, then yeah. That’s a lot of money.
Yes I would.
Oh hells yea! Knowing me I would probably enjoy it
Centerpoint energy tasered my dog a few weeks ago. My dog is a bassethound. I have pictures of just how “vicious” she can be, on my pictures page. Its quite intimidating to a 200 pound man whose job it is to walk on other people’s property, I’m sure.
It would hurt like frick, but yeah, I would.
Bring on the taser. I’ve been tased a few times before, but never by a police taser. It is painful, but hey, life is painful in general. You might as well make some money while living it.
yes. I could use the cash…
Ladies and gentlemen, the American Justice System.
Give ‘em a hand.
Sure. I’d probably do worse things, for less money than that.
For that much? Yeah, I would.
Be careful everybody! These hypotheticals are dangerous! Your answer matters!
http://current.com/items/88927414_tased_and_confused
Actually this journalist had himself tased for free to experience the feeling of it.
No way. Hella no.
shiiiiiiit yeah i would.
Bring it on! I don’t have any heart conditions
Oh heck yeah! I can put up with a couple hours of pain to pay off my mortgage.
Yes, I would.
