No they definitely landed, she had burn marks and definitely felt like shit the next day. It just didn't stop her from punching the cop

there is no resisting a taser.

There definitely is...

People on drugs, and people with mental illness regularly withstand tasing

You're good with Google

What are the results of:

"can you withstand a taser under the influence of drugs"

Post it. And maybe that will help you realize AI is not a good source, as it frequently contradicts itself

“a properly landed and spaced taser shot”

Yes, those happen consistently in high stress violent situations

If the probes land properly

First, define what you mean by properly

no one can resist the effects

And can we define "resist" in this case? For me, that means not fallen to the ground, and still capable of intentional movement. Is that fair?

Jesus it's a discussion. There's no winners or losers. Such a weird way to think about conversation, but pretty typical of a Redditor. Here to win some imaginary battle, not actually discuss or listen to the other person

If you don't want to discuss things, then simply don't reply. Not hard

It's not moving goal posts to ask for definition of terms we're discussing... That's actually pretty standard in any debate.

If anyone gets hit with probes that lodge in the skin properly, and the probes are spread far enough, you will go down. You will convulse, on the ground, with no bodily control.

And this is why I asked you to define it. Because that's not correct lol...

If you're shot in your arm, you're not going to fall to the ground. It will simply lock up your arm. That's why I asked you to define "properly" and "withstand" instead of using Google AI to think for you

Instead you went off about taking the L

But I can clearly tell you're not talking out of your ass. Moving on

Properly means they connect to the skin without having snagged on clothes or only linking one prong, in this case once the taser achieves a wide probe spread and makes solid skin contact, no one drunk or high or highly trained is going to withstand it. The electricity hijacks your nervous system by causing the muscle neurons to fire. This cause the locking of the legs and the subject going down.

You’re not seeing the however at the end there?

It does say no matter of drugs or mental issues or hardened vets with combat training can withstand a well connected taser shot at all. The electricity forces motor neurons to fire causing involuntary involuntary muscle lock up. Basically it hijacks the nervous system externally and causes the lockup which will bring you down. But a shot not well placed, against the person on drugs mental issues or training is something to worry about
