Sep 21 2009Taser Backfire: Man Gets Zapped By Police, Uses His New Found Powers To Run Away
This is a video of some crazy bastard talking nonsense to the police and eventually getting tasered. But, unlike most poor suckers who get zapped, this character uses his new electric power to yell a magical chant, get up, and run for freedom. It works too! Feel free to skip to 2:45 if you just want to see the getaway, but I watched the whole thing because people who ramble nonsense make me feel better about myself. Like anonymously flaming you guys in the comments, but not AS good.
Thanks to Jay and Quark, who have both been tased while reciting the alphabet backwards as part of field sobriety tests AND PASSED. Hardcore!

3. Johnny B - September 21, 2009 4:33 PM
Maybe they shouldn't announce when they are gonna taser the guy.
Make it a surprise.... kinda like that time when i picked up that really hot chick with a big adam's apple.

Why didnt they want to tell us what he was arrested for? Looks to me like these cops were full of shit.
Yey mystical man!

i'm attached to megan fox. how many of you can say that?
20. anonymous - September 21, 2009 5:12 PM
Old... old news.
It's fake anyway. No human can withstand a taser. That's like catching a full magazine of bullets from an Uzi. When the latter happens, I'll believe the former.
21. The Stig - September 21, 2009 5:23 PM
It's less It turn my head and cough for you

22. this guy - September 21, 2009 5:25 PM
good troll anon.
But seriously, i worked at kroger and we got robbed all the time so they gave us tasers for about a week. We got bored and went around tasing eachother for like the whole night, after a while u can stand it, just takes some getting used to.
Never knew why they took them away...' n '

Also that was the smartest and slickest getaway "SELF DEFENSE! BYEE!" *runs away*
27. Gemma Barrett - September 21, 2009 5:42 PM
OMG I cant beleive that, I'm not sure about the police using these things as even in the UK some are getting over zealous in using them although its probably better than allowing our police all to carry guns...just a thought!
28. Davo - September 21, 2009 5:42 PM
nice.
29. Ad - September 21, 2009 5:45 PM
Good for him!!!
Escape win - capture fail
30. David Sadi - September 21, 2009 5:50 PM
so maybe the guy is Jewish or has read the Torah?
i laughed because it sounded like he was talking randomly referencing a physical when they tell you to turn your head and cough
31. Emily - September 21, 2009 5:51 PM
I read the comments because i KNEW someone was going to say something stupid about tasers. Clearly, tasers don't hurt that bad (he got right up). The guy was high on something, the only time i've ever herd of a guy getting up from a tase was when they were hopped up on drugs. If you had a gun pointed in your face daily, you'd tase people acting that way too. People get so pissy about cops getting out the taser, it's a shock, nothing more. So often cops pull someone over for DUI or even something small like expired tags and end up getting shot at because the driver has done more then the cops know. That is why cops don't play. Some abuse their power but i see nothing wrong with what these guys did. Im surprised they were able to keep from laughing.
@27-he said Yaweh, which is God.
32. boomlol - September 21, 2009 6:02 PM
The guy is win :)
33. greenman - September 21, 2009 6:15 PM
To be fair they should be able to tell him why they're arresting him. They can't just say "It doesn't matter".

36. Truk - September 21, 2009 6:21 PM
Is it really proper to tazer somebody who is already on the ground? The cops look really bad in this one. That guy is awesome. I hope he got away, and I hope he comes to my town.
37. Purple Monkey Dishwasher - September 21, 2009 6:41 PM
I love how when he ran away he zigged and zagged
38. bungo - September 21, 2009 6:42 PM
I have a new hero.
39. Purple Monkey Dishwasher - September 21, 2009 6:42 PM
And it looks like the cop missed him with the taser.
40. Nastbedazzler - September 21, 2009 6:44 PM
I hate cops and I'm glad the guy got away.

I gotta say, he put up a good argument, that is before the whole "my holy fater in the heavens, YYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOGURT!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHH BOOI!!!!", but then he lost me, until of course, the greatest escape since Alcatraz.

Which makes me believe, he's been waiting to use that speech on the cops before.

I'm sure those 1500 volts just felts like sweet energy coursing through his corporeal transport, his spirit already willing to steer the escape!

Yaweh is what the jews call God. Seriously people. He's not crazy. And in all fairness, I think that they should've told him what he did. They can't just deny that.
57. Jazzman - September 21, 2009 10:42 PM
i agree with you 57... "Does it matter" is how they responded. GWD (Geek writer dude), please add this one to your watch list, i wanna know what happens to the cops!!!
58. Jaz - September 21, 2009 10:42 PM
I'm getting the impression that people think he made that song up on the spot. He didn't. I'm not sure where ive heard it before, but type some of the lyrics into google and im sure youll find the song. His voice was perfect for it too.
59. ted - September 21, 2009 11:48 PM
wherever this happened...crooks should go there. looks like you can get away with whatever you want there.
This guy was under arrest and he got up and ran...the cops just stood there? where the hell do cops do that? they live for the jerkass to run. "JUST GIVE ME A REASON MOFO!!!" they're ready to chase when they wake up in the morning. these cops suck ass or this is fake.
FURTHERMORE!!!-- these cops couldn't overpower this jackass in the first minute of the video? i'd like to see what would happen if someone wanted to stand 5 feet away from REAL cops arresting someone with a video camera. wouldn't happen. I'm sure real cops know some kind of vulcan neck grip that would have made this guy go limp and pee so they could slap cuffs on him.
I'll save you the trouble Daisy- FAKE!
I'm outta here...where the hell is my chambord

This man is amazing. I would follow Him into eternity.
62. RK - September 22, 2009 1:08 AM
incredible video, going to be in my fav vid list for quite a while...
I was under the impression that police are compelled to disclose the charge when asked? "it doesn't matter" is definitely an abuse of power, you can't go around arresting people for no reason.
I wish someone would tag the actual officer's names to this post.
63. bob - September 22, 2009 1:40 AM
Seriously? What's with everyone bashin' the cops? It's fairly obvious what was going on. The cops were trying to let they guy settle down so they could cuff him. He was probably spazing out before the video started rolling, and the resulting footage started during a brief lull in the nutso show. As for not giving a reason for being under arrest, I have a strong suspicion that they had given the reason several times before the video started rolling. There's only so much reasoning you can do with someone who's wiggin' out. Oh, yeah, and would you go chasing helter-sketler after a nutbag with the lord under his wings? They obviously weren't going to catch him. Especially the chubber on the right. You'd call it in and get a donut.
64. Boost - September 22, 2009 1:41 AM
Ha-ha!
Well played GW, well played...
65. your father - September 22, 2009 2:30 AM
This guy is my hero today! Seriously.
What the hell is wrong with those cops? In my book, what they did there was violent assault and intended kidnapping. The guy had every right to resist an unlawful arrest and that (should) include knocking those tools out cold.
The fact that he's a bit nutty doesn't change any of that.
66. AmstraD - September 22, 2009 3:11 AM
that's an ELECTRIC WIN
67. johndoe - September 22, 2009 4:24 AM
Good on his for getting away.
68. Browchay - September 22, 2009 4:45 AM
Cop1 : 'oh oh .. he's getting away, lets run after ......'
Cop2 : ' donut ? '
Cop1 : 'ok, and remember, this never happened'
69. Daisy - September 22, 2009 5:12 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
Thisis exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where MAx is switched for a bad guy in prison, and electrocuted. When the electrocution fails, he gains super powers and is able to escape jail, and upon returning ho,e finds hos house was vandalized by Elvis.
70. Euphobic - September 22, 2009 5:19 AM
.... Power tripping cops, can't see that this man is schizophrenic. Every time i hear a cop got shot I cheer a little inside. They are always the high school bullies who couldn't make it to college or the military so they find a job that they know well... Please none of this "if their were no cops who would protect us" bullshit. Society wouldn't fall apart without them.
71. Terry - September 22, 2009 6:20 AM
So the cops decided to hit this guy with a taser because
A) they were just tired of his ranting and raving?
B) they were too weak together to put the handcuffs on one non violent man?
C) they really didn't want to be cops anymore and decided that as long as it was on video they could secure a dismissal?
At lest they didn't further the embarrassment of the police force by chasing him showing how slow and out of shape they are. Hopefully the gas station has a donut shop inside.
Got to be the 2 lamest, dumbest cops of the day!
72. Alex_Crazy_One - September 22, 2009 6:33 AM
That man was casting a Taser resistant spell and then use flee to escape
73. NiN - September 22, 2009 6:58 AM
Yeah, agreed. Do the US even have a constitution anymore?. Everytime I see one of the these vids it's some old person, or they are mentally disturbed or DOUSED IN PETROL. Just seems to me the cops think zapping them is the easiest way. If a cop shoots someone they have an investigation afterwards, but do they have one after using stun guns? I'm not saying the cops have it easy and they of course should be allowed to defend themselves but some of them need to show a bit more intelligence when they use the taser.

79. NoOne - September 22, 2009 9:25 AM
That was great!! It's like the tazer super-charged him or something! I love how both cops just stood there after like "wtf..."
80. Prok'n'Beans - September 22, 2009 9:52 AM
A tazer is issued as a non-lethal alternative. It's a lot more difficult to arrest a resisting person than you think. All cops aren't ROBOCOP, and when you get into close proximity with someone like that it can get dangerous. You have no idea what weapons the person has, or what drug needles might stick you.
Also they told him in the video he had a warrant out for his arrest. Who knows what it was for, and maybe they don't know until they call it in. Either way he had a warrant out.
81. elvisp - September 22, 2009 9:56 AM
The reason for the arrest was he had an outstanding warrant. They told him that over and over. Wake up and smell the ozone!
82. jEnsmo - September 22, 2009 11:47 AM
So...they have this guy on the ground for at least 2 & 1/2 minutes (probably longer before video started) and 2 TRAINED COPS can't get him cuffed in that time. THEN they decide to tase him to put him in his place and shut him up, and they walk about 10 feet before giving up due to being too exhausted to run after Electro-man? Wow...pull out the pew-pew and take the guy out for God's sake!!
83. Andy - September 22, 2009 12:22 PM
Wasn't this the same jerk off that was butt naked at some type of outdoor concert that recited the same crap and got tazered then also?
He is doing this on purpose to get famous on youtube
84. evee - September 22, 2009 12:36 PM
wow this was NOT handled well
He was probably on something
they should've been more careful
he could've gone into cardiac arrest if his heart was over taxed from whatever he took
@Emily : Did you know if you have a heart condition a tazer will kill you?
It's happened before. And it's not like you can ask the guy before hand..
Then there was that incident when they tazered the schizophrenic man who was up ontop of a building awning. He fell and died.
85. TE - September 22, 2009 12:56 PM
Pro Tip: when claiming to speak a different language, use a different language.
Loved how the police jogged for three steps, then went to the radio. Good thing he wasn't some sort-of criminal or something.

87. Blastphemer - September 22, 2009 1:46 PM
I agree with all those that have said the cops shouldn't have used the tasers. You are all absolutely right...
They should've used FLAMETHROWERS!!! Woo-hoo!!!!! Now THAT'S a party!
Think about it...
Much easier to locate the perp and catch up with him, AND could just hook up some s'mores over his twitching, burning carcass. Win/win situation.
88. MechanicalApe - September 22, 2009 1:47 PM
does anyone have any information on what happened to this guy or the canadian bacon?
89. Jermaine Succotash Watkins - September 22, 2009 3:22 PM
hmmmm, so tasers make cops lazy? ya get rid of tasers & this video is just another video with 17 cops kneeling on the guy's neck & crushing road gravel into his mind... FTW!

92. anonymous - September 22, 2009 8:55 PM
The tazer is in drive stun mode, which is much less effective at disabling a person than the primary (ranged) mode which fire electrodes directly into the skin.
If you can withstand the pain, you can escape. Being high is very effective for this.

@71 f*ck off you stupid retard. I hope your family gets murdered, and your wife/daughter/mom gets raped then set on fire. I'd cheer a little inside.
Cops don't have time to get a psychologist to the scene to accurately diagnose schizophrenia. And if that got you off, then every criminal would act schizophrenic. You hate cops because you're probably a junkie who's gotten into trouble with them before. Everyone has bad experience with cops, but they deal with idiot morons daily, just like this guy. They are dicks and have the right to do so. You can also alter the tazers so as not to send the guy into cardiac arrest. Which is probably why the guy got away.
For those of you who say "They should have told him what he was charged for" they told him he had a warrant. Also, resisting arrest. Possibly being under the influence. And I could be wrong but his wife in the background didn't seem to have a problem with what they were doing.
Lastly, the guy was flailing his arms around so they couldn't cuff him. What do you propose they do instead?
100. J0hnz1ll4 - September 23, 2009 11:01 PM
