Year’s ago, I went through Citizen’s Police Academy in my local community, put on by the local police department. The class touched briefly on everything from learning details about the Green River Killer, learning about the K-9’s various rolls, to shooting an AR-15 and other weapons.
“Who will volunteer to go first?!”, an officer asked. Everyone in the class studied each other trying to read who would be crazy enough to take the challenge. Any takers?
In that moment, my hand and arm went rogue, shooting high up into the air seemingly in tribute to the rest of those sitting there in fear.
How bad could it be? Right?! I seen this shit on t.v. I delivered three of my four children without pain meds, so this was going to be a piece of cake. I got this!
Two officers approached on either side of me and each grabbed an arm to hold me in place so I didn’t collapse after the hit. Another officer gave instructions on what would take place and then gave the command “Taser, taser, taser”. a fishhook-like barb shot out of the taser and into my back and buttocks at a rate that my brain did not have time to process. The pain hit hard, my legs seized up and the officers took me gently to the ground. Just when I thought that was over, they proceeded to pull the two barbs from my back and ass as I writhed in pain.
This still makes me laugh! I miss that badass woman! 🔥🤣
