If a taser causes involuntary spasm of the body’s entire muscular system?

I am a certified taser instructor for the Las Vegas Police Department. I have been a target for both the M-18 and the X 26 Advanced Taser. While I experienced the effects of the taser, I felt I could do absolutely nothing except fall to the ground in pain, as all of my muscles in my body contracted.

Now, last week, we had a certain individual come to our department to film for an upcoming season of a television show. Due to the legally binding contract, I can not tell you who this individual was, but what I can tell you is that this individual came to our department to volunteer to be hit with the Advanced Taser X26.

This individual had been doing stunts involving electricity, including messing around with tesla coils and mother nature herself. This individual wanted to experience being shot with our most advanced taser.

This individual removed his shirt to show that he had absolutely nothing on his back to protect him.
One of our other taser instructors ended up firing the taser at this individual, only to our surprise, he showed absolutely no reaction at all. All of us in the department assumed it was a misfire, and he reloaded, and fired again. Again, no reaction. We assumed that the taser had somehow lost it’s power, so we then used my Taser X26. As my partner fired, it again appeared as if it wasn’t working. One of our other officers volunteered to be hit with the same taser to test to see if they were malfunctioning, and to our surprise, the taser was completely effective against our own officer.

I also work at the academy, and have seen over 300 people hit with the taser, and there has never been a case where someone completely been able to ignore it, and not show any reaction. My training has taught me that the Taser X26 causes involuntary spasm of the body’s entire muscular system, causing your muscles to contract against your will.

I’ve seen a couple of questions on here talking about people being able to withstand the taser, but I’ve never actually seen it myself until last week.
My question is, how was this individual able to completely block out the effects of the taser?

Of course, the secret wasn’t shared with us, but this might possibly be aired on television early next year.

What do I do about my needy, misbehaving cat?

Hello again, chick with the Maine Coon mix, Dante here.

I suppose I should try and be as detailed as possible. I adopted my cat about three or four months ago. At first, he was a complete angel, but now he is constantly begging for attention. He has plenty of surfaces to scratch on, and I buy him new toys whenever I get paid. He is fed a top quality, grain-free diet, is neutered, and has no history of or current medical problems. I play with him at least 20 minutes a couple times a day (I’ve tried playing with him more, but the problem persists anyway), and he is not overweight. As of now, he is extremely needy, and a bit of a control freak. Any time I don’t give him attention or doesn’t get what he wants, he starts howling. I don’t just mean the cute little meows, I mean that horrible caterwauling that makes him sound like he’s a female in heat kind of meowing. And many times, he’ll do something I can’t ignore, i.e. scratch the loft stairs, scratch the carpet, knock things over, play with unacceptable objects, run around and make loud noises, pee where he is not supposed to, and jump up on my computer desk. I’ve tried citrus, I’ve tried telling him no and shooing him off to no avail. I am concerned about spray bottles as cats have very sensitive respiratory systems and are prone to moisture-induced illness, and I have heard mixed opinions on its effectiveness. So far my cat associates any kind of ‘punishment’ with attention. This is very frustrating. My neighbors and my father are losing their patience, and so am I. I love my cat, and I simply don’t have the heart to give him back to that awful pit of a shelter I rescued him from or declaw him, which I believe is an inhumane and disgusting procedure alltogether. Are there any suggestions you have on what to do to solve my cat’s bratty behavior issues, or any products or books you would recommend purchasing?

1 quick bio immune system question, stuck, please help???!?

1. Use the following information to answer this question:

IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSES
1 – B cells produce antibodies
2 – Macrophages produce antigen markers
3 – Helper T-cells identify the markers
4 – Antibodies attach to foreign proteins

If bacteria or viruses enter the bloodstream, the correct sequence of immune system responses is…
a) 1, 2, 4, 3
b) 2, 3, 1, 4
c) 2, 1, 3, 4
d) 1, 4, 2, 3

What are some questions about muscle tissue??

I have to come up with 3 questions to ask for my “Muscular System” project. They have to be about muscle tissue. Like, skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

For example, “What kind of muscle tissue lines the blood vessels?”
Another group used that one. So any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
