Volt From The Blue

Stunning Experiment For Welsh Police Chief

He's one brave son of a gun, I reckon. The chief constable of North Wales Police has been zapped with a Taser electronic stun gun. Richard Brunstrom, 53, offered himself as a target to feel the effects of being shot with 50,000 volts for less than two seconds. Video footage shows him being supported by two officers as he is shot in the back with a Taser by a third officer. He makes what he described as a "strangulated yell" as he is zapped for 1.5 seconds, and tells his officers: "That was long enough, thanks".

FOOTNOTE: It came as quite a shock to him.
